Bridge the gap: Connecting design, PM and code with MCPs

Countless AI tools are released every month and it's really hard to create a stable and maintainable workflow which does not change everyday.

I tried many options, but for new MVP projects now I finally stick with a toolset which includes:

• Code editor and coding agent




• A project management tool with kanban board




• A design tool

All of them orchestrated via terminal.

Design with Stitch

Many probably already know it, but in case you're not among them: when it's time to track my tasks. It's easy to use, colorful, simple and user-friendly without being bloated.

Like Stitch, even Trello has its MCP which can be directly connected with your code editor. We will see how to leverage its potential.

The "hammer"

Time to write some code. Here is the funny part!

My toolkit involves and

Now we are able to connect all our tools through dedicated MCPs. Your sole entrypoint will be the opencode chat, but it will orchestrate everything, from design to code.

to create a new Trello application. Fill in data as you wish and in the end get API key and secret: you will need them shortly.

Now for stitch, just open

Ready, steady, go!

Go to

Stitch will create a new project designing the screens for you starting from the given description, generating a design system as well.

You're now ready to open your CLI to see the magic in action.

Start a new opencode session and, to see how these tools talk to each other, try a prompt like this:

Using Stitch mcp read the "Daily Habit Tracker" project and create a new board and relative tasks in Trello (use its mcp).

What’s Happening Under the Hood?

1. The agent reads Stitch screens via the MCP.




2. It breaks down the UI components into actionable development tasks




3. It builds your Trello board and populates it with those tasks. Zero manual entry required.

Once the board is live, you can stay in your flow. You're now coding, reading, and updating tasks directly from the CLI as the project evolves.

By bridging the code editor, design tool, and PM board, you've created the "Holy Trinity" of rapid prototyping. This isn't about replacing designers or managers (or developers); it's about eliminating context-switching so you can get a working POC in front of stakeholders in record time.

Try the steps above on a small project and see how fast you can build!
