The Figma MCP Server is an MCP server that enables Claude AI to interact with Figma design files for reading and writing purposes.
To get started, clone the repository and install its dependencies. You will need a Figma account. For write operations, the Figma MCP plugin must also be installed within the Figma desktop application.
Key features include a Readonly Mode for extracting information from a Figma file URL and a Write Mode that requires the plugin for creating or updating designs. It offers a comprehensive API to access Figma features and includes unit and integration tests.
Use cases involve extracting design details for analysis, automating design updates from external data, and fostering collaboration between AI and design teams.
Prerequisites are Node.js 18 or higher, a Figma account, and the Figma MCP plugin for write capabilities. The plugin is mandatory for write mode. Detailed documentation is available within the repository.
