Overview

What is Figma MCP Server?

Figma MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that delivers standardized design context (layout, components, styling) from Figma to large language models. It acts as middleware for designers and developers who want to use AI coding assistants such as Claude, Windsurf, Cursor, and Cline to automate tasks, generate UI components, and maintain consistency between design and code.

How to use Figma MCP Server?

Install and run the server via npx figma-developer-mcp --figma-api-key=<your-figma-api-key> (or clone the repository and use pnpm install + pnpm run dev). Set the FIGMA_API_TOKEN environment variable (and optionally PORT, default 3333). Integrate with AI tools (e.g., Cursor) by adding an SSE MCP server pointing to http://localhost:3333. In Figma, copy a design link and paste it into the AI tool to trigger tasks like generating React code.

Key features of Figma MCP Server

  • MCP‑compliant – works with multiple LLM applications
  • Type‑safe implementation built with TypeScript
  • Custom URI scheme for easy design asset management
  • Robust error handling and input validation
  • Batch operations for processing multiple design elements
  • Available tools: get_file and get_node

Use cases of Figma MCP Server

  • Generate React or other framework code directly from Figma designs
  • Create reusable UI components from selected frames
  • Automate repetitive design‑to‑code translation tasks
  • Reduce manual overhead and maintain consistency across team projects
  • Enable AI assistants to access up‑to‑date Figma layout and styling data

Frequently asked questions

1

What prerequisites are needed to run the server?

You need Node.js 16.0+, npm 7.0+ or pnpm 8.0+, a Figma account (Professional or Enterprise recommended), and a Figma API access token with read permissions.

2

How do I obtain a Figma API token?

In the Figma desktop app, go to Settings → Security, scroll to Personal Access Tokens, generate a new token, copy it immediately (it is shown only once), and store it securely in an environment variable.

3

How do I integrate the server with an AI tool like Cursor?

Ensure the server is running, open Cursor Settings → MCP, click “Add New MCP Server”, choose the SSE option, and enter the server URL (usually `http://localhost:3333`). A green indicator confirms the connection.

4

Which transport does the server use?

The server communicates via SSE (Server‑Sent Events) to provide real‑time design context to AI assistants.

5

What are the two main tools exposed by the server?

`get_file` retrieves detailed information about a Figma file, and `get_node` fetches data about a specific node within a file.
