Stitch::Upload To Stitch

Upload local design assets (images, mockups, HTML, markdown) to a Stitch project via HTTP when MCP base64 encoding limits block direct transfer.

About

Stitch::upload-to-stitch bypasses MCP tool base64 token limits by sending local design assets directly over HTTP to a Stitch project. Developers use this skill when uploading images, mockups, extracted HTML pages, or design markdown files to Stitch fails through standard MCP calls due to token constraints. The workflow requires identifying the target project, extracting the Stitch API key from local MCP config files (Antigravity, Gemini CLI, or Claude Code), presenting files for user confirmation, then executing a Python upload script with project ID, file path, and API credentials. Supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, HTML, and Markdown formats with auto-detected MIME types and optional metadata like screen title and generation source. Bypasses MCP base64 token limits using direct HTTP file upload instead of model output encoding Supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, HTML, and Markdown

  • Bypasses MCP base64 token limits using direct HTTP file upload instead of model output encoding
  • Supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, HTML, and Markdown files with auto-detected MIME types
  • Extracts API keys from multiple config locations (Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Claude Code)
  • Requires explicit user confirmation before uploading files to prevent unintended transfers
  • Handles macOS SSL certificate issues via certifi package or manual SSL_CERT_FILE setup

What it does

Upload images, mockups, HTML, and design markdown to Stitch projects when MCP base64 limits block direct transfers.

Who is it for?

Uploading visual assets, mockups, extracted HTML, and design documentation to Stitch during AI-assisted design workflows.

Skip if: Streaming uploads, batch processing >1 file per invocation, or scenarios where API key cannot be securely accessed.

When should I use this skill?

Direct MCP tool upload fails or truncates due to base64 limits; user confirms file(s) ready for upload to Stitch.

What you get

Files successfully uploaded to target Stitch project with metadata (title, generation source) preserved; developer confirmation required before execution.

  • Uploaded file stored in Stitch project
  • Optional screen title and generation metadata recorded

By the numbers

  • Bypasses ~16K output token limit imposed by model base64 encoding
  • Supports 5 file types (PNG, JPEG, WebP, HTML, Markdown)
  • Requires user confirmation checkpoint before executing upload

Upload-to-Stitch

Upload local assets (images, mockups, HTML, and markdown files) to a Stitch project using the provided upload script, which bypasses the MCP tool's base64 output token limits.

[!NOTE]
The AI model cannot upload files via MCP tools directly because the base64
encoding of even a small file exceeds the model's output token limit (~16K
tokens). This script reads the file and sends it directly over HTTP.

Steps

1. Identify Target Project

Use list_projects to find the correct projectId.

2. Get the API Key

Locate your active MCP server configuration file and extract the API key:

  • Antigravity: .gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json or .gemini/jetski/mcp_config.json
  • Gemini CLI: ~/.gemini/settings.json or ~/.gemini/extensions/Stitch/gemini-extension.json
  • Claude Code: ~/.claude.json

Extract:

  • API Key: From the X-Goog-Api-Key header or auth argument
  • MCP URL (optional): From the httpUrl or endpoint argument (defaults to

https://stitch.googleapis.com)

[!IMPORTANT]
If you cannot find the API key in any of these locations, or if you cannot access these files, you MUST ask the user to provide the Stitch API key. Do not proceed without a valid API key.

3. Run Upload Script

[!WARNING]
Checkpoint — User Confirmation Required.
Before running the upload script, you MUST pause and present the file(s)
to be uploaded (paths, sizes, and types) to the user and wait for explicit
approval. Do NOT execute the upload script until the user confirms.

Use run_command to execute the Python script:

python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/upload_to_stitch.py \
  --project-id <PROJECT_ID> \
  --file-path <PATH_TO_FILE> \
  --api-key <API_KEY> \
  [--api-url <STITCH_API_URL>] \
  [--title <SCREEN_TITLE>] \
  [--generated-by <GENERATED_BY>]
[!TIP]
macOS / SSL Certificate Troubleshooting:
If the upload fails with ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] unable to get local issuer certificate, this means your Python installation does not have root certificate authorities configured.

>

The script automatically attempts to use the certifi package to load the CA bundle if it is installed in your python environment. If certifi is not installed, you can either install it (pip install certifi) or manually supply the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable when running the script:
```bash
SSL_CERT_FILE=$(python3 -c "import certifi; print(certifi.where())") python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/upload_to_stitch.py \
--project-id <PROJECT_ID> \
--file-path <PATH_TO_FILE> \
--api-key <API_KEY> \
[--api-url <STITCH_API_URL>] \
[--title <SCREEN_TITLE>] \
[--generated-by <GENERATED_BY>]
```

Supported File Types

ExtensionMIME Type
.pngimage/png
.jpg, .jpegimage/jpeg
.webpimage/webp
.html, .htmtext/html
.mdtext/markdown

The script auto-detects MIME type from the file extension.

Script Options

  • --project-id: Required. The Stitch project ID.
  • --file-path: Required. Path to the local file to upload.
  • --api-key: Required. API key for Stitch authorization.
  • --api-url: Optional. Base URL of the Stitch API. Defaults to https://stitch.googleapis.com.
  • --title: Optional. Title for the uploaded screen.
  • --generated-by: Optional. Specify how the uploaded file was generated (e.g., 'stitch::extract-static-html' skill, 'Claude Code', 'Codex', 'Gemini' etc.).

How it compares

Prefer this skill over direct MCP upload when files exceed token encoding limits; use direct MCP for small files or metadata queries.

FAQ

Why use this skill instead of calling Stitch MCP directly?

MCP tools output base64-encoded files, which exceeds the model's ~16K output token limit for even small assets. This skill reads and sends files via HTTP directly, avoiding token overhead.

Where do I find my Stitch API key?

Extract from MCP config files: Antigravity (.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json), Gemini CLI (~/.gemini/settings.json), or Claude Code (~/.claude.json). Contact user if not found.

What file types are supported?

PNG, JPEG, WebP, HTML, and Markdown. MIME types are auto-detected from file extension.

Is Stitch::Upload To Stitch safe to install?

skills.sh reports 2 of 3 security scanners passed. Review the Security Audits panel on this page before installing in production.
