Examples
# Create a mobile app design and wait for generation
cli-web-stitch projects create "A fitness tracking app" --platform app --wait --json
# Set context, then iterate on the design
cli-web-stitch use <project-id>
cli-web-stitch design generate "Add a dark header with a search bar" --model pro --wait --json
# List screens and download all HTML exports
cli-web-stitch screens list --json
cli-web-stitch projects download <project-id> -o ./stitch-export --json
# Inspect the project's design system
cli-web-stitch design theme --json
JSON output
Every command accepts --json. Success responses are {"success": true, "data": ...}; errors are {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}.
Auth
cli-web-stitch auth login # browser-based Google SSO (--headed default, --headless available)
cli-web-stitch auth status --json
cli-web-stitch auth import FILE # import cookies from a JSON file
Run doctor to diagnose auth setup. For CI, set CLI_WEB_STITCH_AUTH_JSON with the cookies JSON.
Utilities
cli-web-stitch doctor [--json] self-diagnoses the local setup (install, auth, dependencies). cli-web-stitch mcp-serve serves the commands as MCP tools over stdio.
Agent tips
- Use
--waitonprojects createanddesign generate— generation is async and the CLI polls with backoff (--retry Nfor rate limits). projects createcontrols platform (--platform app|web);design generatecontrols model and device type.- Grab IDs from
projects list/screens listJSON (.data[].id), thenuse <project-id>to avoid repeating--project.
