Figma MCP Server
Expose design canvas frames, inspect CSS variables, retrieve design components metadata, and track comments.
Quick Answer / TL;DR
The Figma MCP server establishes a secure, local or remote JSON-RPC 2.0 communication tunnel, allowing AI models (like Claude or Cursor) to automatically discover and execute capabilities (tools, prompts, and resources) within the Figma ecosystem with extremely low latency.
Key Takeaways
- Verify design spacing parameters
- Export component image links for AI coders
- Summarize design review feedbacks
Core Integration Concept
Connecting the model to Figma bypasses complex setup. The LLM can auto-discover what endpoints are active, what input variables are expected, and how answers will be delivered.

Setup Overview
Connection Setup Checklist
- Prepare Credentials: Obtain your Figma Personal Access Token credentials directly from your Figma settings.
- Update Config: Add the executable tool command structure directly to your Claude config file.
- Restart & Confirm: Reload the desktop model client to complete the connection handshake sequence.
Sample Connection Schema
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "execute_figma",
"arguments": {
"query": "status_check"
}
},
"id": 1
}Security Considerations
To guarantee perfect data isolation, safeguard the Figma Personal Access Token credentials. Always run integrations in sandboxed contexts to block unsolicited access.
Best Practices
