# Stitch MCP — Get Project

Retrieves full metadata for a specific Stitch project. Useful for understanding an existing project's theme and screen list before generating additional screens.

## Critical prerequisite

**Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Stitch".**

**Do NOT call this if you already have both `projectId` AND `screenId`.** In that case, call `stitch-mcp-get-screen` directly — it's more efficient.

## When to use

- User provides a Stitch project URL and you need its details
- You need to know the existing design theme before generating new consistent screens
- Verifying a project exists before proceeding

## Step 1: Parse the project ID from context

The user may provide the project reference in several formats — always extract to the `projects/ID` format:

| Input format | → Argument for `get_project` |
|---|---|
| `3780309359108792857` (numeric) | `projects/3780309359108792857` |
| `projects/3780309359108792857` | `projects/3780309359108792857` (use as-is) |
| `https://stitch.withgoogle.com/projects/3780309359108792857` | Extract ID → `projects/3780309359108792857` |

## Step 2: Call the MCP tool

```json
{
  "name": "get_project",
  "arguments": {
    "name": "projects/3780309359108792857"
  }
}
```

> `designMd` is truncated above — in practice it's a full auto-generated design system doc (often 500+ lines). `namedColors` typically contains 40+ semantic tokens; only the most common are shown here.

## DesignTheme field reference

| Field | Type | Values / Notes |
|-------|------|----------------|

## ScreenInstance fields

| `hidden` | boolean | Whether hidden in the project |
| `sourceAsset` | string | Present on `DESIGN_SYSTEM_INSTANCE` types — references the design system asset |

## Using the theme data

Use `designMd` and `namedColors` when generating new screens — they contain the authoritative design system for this project. Pass `namedColors` to `stitch-design-system` for instant token extraction.

## After getting the project

- Note the `designTheme` — use it to keep new screens visually consistent
- Note the `screenInstances` list — extract screenId values if you need to inspect specific screens
- Use `stitch-mcp-list-screens` for a richer view of the screen list including thumbnails
