## About

The Figma MCP server brings Figma into your AI workflow. It uses the Model Context Protocol, a standard interface that lets AI agents interact with data sources, to give agents the design context they need to generate code from your Figma files. It can also let agents write native Figma content back to the canvas.

Agents connected to the server can write directly to the canvas in Figma Design, FigJam and Figma Slides. With the right skills, they can build and update frames, components, variables and auto layout, using your design system as the source of truth. Writing outside your drafts requires the remote server and a Full seat, and the feature is free during the beta period.

The server can also pull variables, components and layout data into your IDE, which is useful for design systems and component-based workflows. Selected frames can be turned into code, and FigJam diagrams and Make files can be supplied to an agent as context. Code Connect lets generated code reuse your actual components so output stays consistent with your codebase.

You can connect in two ways. The remote MCP server connects to Figma's hosted endpoint without the desktop app and is the recommended option for most users. The desktop MCP server runs locally through the Figma desktop app and is intended for specific organisation and enterprise needs. It requires a Dev or Full seat on a Professional, Education, Organization, Government or Enterprise plan.

The page lists a range of MCP clients that support the server, including Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. Some clients also support Figma skills, which are instructions that tell an agent which tools to use and in what order. Skills do not add new capabilities. They package recommended workflows, such as connecting Figma components to code components or reading Figma Specs.

The page does not list a fixed price for the server. It says the write feature is free during beta and will eventually become a usage-based paid feature. Usage and rate limits are covered on a separate page.
