Figma MCP: Documentation
Updated:
Connection
Cloud endpoint https://mcp.figma.com/mcp (HTTP, OAuth) — no running Figma app required. The local option is the Figma desktop app itself, which spins up an MCP server on 127.0.0.1:3845, available while the app is open and the file is active; authorization runs through the app's own session.
Tools
24 tools, the key ones: get_design_context — structure and layers of the selected frame, get_code — ready-made component code, get_screenshot — an image of the screen or frame, get_variable_defs — design-system variables (colors, spacing, typography), use_figma — writing changes back to the canvas (beta, local mode only). An open community alternative, Framelink (GLips/Figma-Context-MCP, 15.5k stars), predates the official server — some teams still pick it for a simpler local setup with no desktop app required.
Agent flow
"Build a React product-card component from this frame", "check whether this screen uses design-system colors and send a screenshot", "write these edits back to the canvas" (beta, via use_figma only) — the agent moves Figma designs into code and back.
Pricing
The MCP server is free on every Figma plan, including the free tier; writing to the canvas (use_figma) is a beta feature and may require file edit access.
