About Figma MCP

Figma's MCP server gives supported AI clients design context from Figma files and can create or edit native Figma content, generate diagrams, and transfer live UI into Figma.

What you can use it for

  • Generate code from selected Figma designs and retrieve layout, component, and variable context
  • Create and modify Figma Design and FigJam content from prompts
  • Generate diagrams, images, shaders, and plugin scaffolds
  • Map Figma components to code using Code Connect
Connection and setup
Hosting
Remote (recommended); local desktop server also available
Transport
Streamable HTTP (remote); stdio (desktop)
Endpoint
https://mcp.figma.com/mcp
Authentication
Figma OAuth interactive consent for remote server. Desktop server requires the Figma desktop app.

Requirements

  • Figma account and access to relevant files
  • MCP client listed in Figma's supported-client catalog for remote service
  • OAuth browser consent
  • Desktop app only when using the desktop server

Setup steps

  1. Use the remote endpoint https://mcp.figma.com/mcp in a supported client, or install Figma's official client plugin where available.
  2. Complete the Figma OAuth Allow Access flow.
  3. For design context, provide a Figma frame or layer URL; the client extracts the node ID.
  4. For desktop mode, open the target file in Figma desktop, enable the local MCP server and select the relevant content.

The stored names combine tools from remote Figma MCP, desktop MCP, and optional paid Weave. The actual surface depends on endpoint, seat, plan, and feature access; remote-only tools are marked in Figma’s reference.

This server’s available tools can vary by account, permissions, or configuration. The list shown is not its full runtime catalog.

Limitations and notes
  • Only clients listed in Figma's MCP Catalog can connect to the remote server (per current setup docs).
  • Remote-only tools are unavailable from desktop mode; some code-to-canvas and Xcode workflows are client-version restricted.
  • generate_image consumes Figma AI credits; Weave tools require a paid standalone Weave account and may consume Weave credits.
  • Weave tool discovery reflects the authenticated user's workspace and sharing permissions.
Original sources
  • official tool reference

    The remote and desktop servers expose different surfaces; many tools are remote-only and plan/seat/feature gated. Weave tools depend on a separate paid Weave account. Stored inventory is not universal across variants.
