Overview

What is Figma MCP?

Figma MCP is a server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that integrates Figma design files with AI coding tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline. It converts Figma design data into a format easily understood by AI models, enabling more accurate code generation directly from designs.

How to use Figma MCP?

Install via npm install -g @yhy2001/figma-mcp-server or from a local .tgz package. Start with figma-mcp --figma-api-key=<your-figma-api-key>. Optionally set a custom --port (default 3333) or use --stdio for command mode. In your AI tool’s MCP configuration, add the server URL (http://localhost:3333/sse) or the npx command with --stdio.

FAQ from Figma MCP

What do I need before using the server?

A Figma personal access token (see Figma help on managing tokens) and Node.js installed. You’ll also need a compatible AI tool (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or any MCP client).

How do I get a Figma API token?

Follow the official Figma guide: Manage personal access tokens.

Can I run the server without internet access?

No, the server requires internet access to connect to the Figma API and fetch design file data. All design data is retrieved live from Figma.

What transports are supported?

HTTP/SSE (port 3333 by default) and stdio mode (--stdio). Use stdio for tools that launch the server as a subprocess, and SSE for tools that connect to a running server URL.

Is Figma MCP free and open source?

Yes, it is based on the open-source project Figma-Context-MCP and freely available. You only need your own Figma API token (free tier is sufficient for testing).
