The troubleshooting table catches a real, non-obvious gotcha (projectId/screenId must be numeric only, no 'projects/' prefix) that a generic MCP-setup answer would not know; but the whole skill hinges on manually getting a Stitch API key from stitch.withgoogle.com/settings first.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Stitch Setup does

Step-by-step installer/troubleshooter for Google Stitch MCP (remote HTTP server at stitch.googleapis.com, API key or OAuth) and the 35-skill stitch-kit plugin in Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, or VS Code. Triggers on first-time setup, missing-tool diagnosis ('Stitch isn't available'), and connection troubleshooting; includes a symptom/fix table and a prompt-only offline fallback.

How to install Stitch Setup

git clone https://github.com/gabelul/stitch-kit.git
cd stitch-kit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/stitch-setup ~/.claude/skills/stitch-setup

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Stitch Setup

  • /stitch-setup Walks you through connecting the Stitch MCP server and installing the stitch-kit plugin.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Stitch isn't showing up in my tools list, help me get it connected
  • walk me through setting up the Stitch MCP server in Claude Code
  • my Stitch screenId keeps failing, what format does it actually need
