Stitch UI Designer
This skill allows you to design high-quality user interfaces using Google Stitch.
Workflow
Follow this process to help the user design a UI:
- Setup (First Time Only)
- Check if the stitch server is configured in mcporter. - If not, configure it: mcporter config add stitch --command "npx" --args "-y stitch-mcp-auto" - Ensure the user is authenticated with Google Cloud (the tool may prompt for gcloud auth).
- Generate & Preview
- Ask for a description of the interface (e.g., "Login screen for a crypto app"). - Use stitch.generate_screen_from_text with the prompt. - Important: This returns a screenId. - Immediately fetch the preview image using stitch.fetch_screen_image(screenId). - Show the image to the user. Do not fetch the code yet.
- Iterate & Customize
- Ask the user for feedback on the preview. - If changes are needed, use stitch.generate_screen_from_text again (potentially using stitch.extract_design_context from the previous screen to maintain style) or just refine the prompt. - Show the new preview.
- Export Code
- Once the user approves the design ("This looks great"), fetch the code. - Use stitch.fetch_screen_code(screenId). - Present the HTML/CSS code or save it to a file as requested.
Tools (via mcporter)
Call these using mcporter call stitch.<tool_name> <args>:
- generate_screen_from_text
- Args: prompt (string), projectId (optional, usually auto-detected by stitch-mcp-auto) - Returns: screenId, name, url - *Use this to start a design.*
- fetch_screen_image
- Args: screenId (string) - Returns: Image data (display this to the user). - *Use this to show the preview.*
- fetch_screen_code
- Args: screenId (string) - Returns: html (string), css (string), etc. - *Use this ONLY after user approval.*
- create_project
- Args: name (string) - *Use if no project exists.*
Tips
- Project Context:
stitch-mcp-autotries to manage the project ID automatically. If you get errors about missing project IDs, ask the user to create or select a Google Cloud project first usingcreate_projector by setting theGOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECTenv var. - Preview First: Always prioritize the visual preview. Generating code for a bad design wastes tokens and time.
- Stitch MCP Auto: We use
stitch-mcp-autobecause it handles the complex Google auth setup more gracefully than the standard package.
