FAQ from Zapcode Figma MCP

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js 16 or later, the Figma Desktop app, and the Zapcode Figma plugin installed from the Figma Community.

How do I configure the server for Claude Desktop?

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\): {"mcpServers": {"zapcode-figma": {"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "zapcode-figma-mcp"]}}}. Then restart Claude Desktop.

Why is the Figma plugin not connected?

Cause: the MCP server cannot reach the Zapcode Figma plugin. Solution: open your design file in the Figma Desktop app, run the Zapcode plugin (Plugins → Zapcode), keep the plugin window open, and retry the MCP tool.

Why are assets not saving?

Cause: permission issues or an invalid path. Solution: ensure the target assets directory (or its parent) exists and is writable. Use absolute paths and check file permissions on the target directory.

What clients are supported?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Zed (MCP in preview), Continue, and GitHub Copilot (with MCP support in VS Code).
