Figma Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

The Figma MCP server brings Figma directly into your workflow by providing crucial design information and context to AI agents. This allows for seamless code generation from design files and enables agents to write native Figma content back to the canvas.

As part of the Model Context Protocol, this server provides a standardized interface for AI agents to interact with your design data sources.

🚀 Key Capabilities

With the server enabled, you can:

• Write to the Canvas Create and modify native Figma content directly from your MCP client. With the right skills, agents can build and update frames, components, variables, and auto layout using your design system as the source of truth.

  Note: Figma is quickly improving AI support. This will eventually be a usage-based paid feature, but it is currently free during the beta period.

• Generate Code from Selected Frames Select a Figma frame and turn it into code. This is perfect for product teams building new flows or iterating on app features.

• Extract Design Context Pull variables, components, and layout data directly into your IDE. This is especially useful for design systems and component-based workflows.

• Retrieve Make Resources Gather code resources from Make files and provide them to the LLM as context to help move from prototype to production.

• Consistency with Code Connect Boost output quality by reusing your actual components. Code Connect ensures your generated code remains consistent with your codebase.

🛠 How to Connect

1. Remote MCP Server (Recommended) We recommend the Remote MCP server, which connects directly to Figma’s hosted endpoint without requiring the Figma desktop app. It offers the broadest set of features.

• Follow the Remote server installation steps to get started.

2. Install Figma Skills If you want to use "write to Figma" workflows, install Figma’s skills for your MCP client. These help your agent use tools more reliably and follow the correct workflow when creating content.

3. Desktop MCP Server For specific organization and enterprise needs, Figma provides a desktop version that runs locally, though the remote version is the best choice for most users.
