| Best for | - Designers and design system teams looking to integrate AI into their workflow.
- Developers needing quick prototyping or visual spec generation.
- Product managers who need to communicate visual requirements during discussions.
- Teams managing multi-file design systems (via figma_execute_across_files).
- Developers who need to export tokens from Figma to their codebase (token sync).
| - Developers, content creators, and project teams using Atlassian Cloud
- Teams that want Atlassian access inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or VS Code
- Users who need natural-language search, write, and cross-product workflows
|
|---|
| Not for | - Users who need read-only access and want to avoid installing Node.js — consider Remote SSE mode (9 read-only tools).
- Users who strictly need code generation (e.g., React/HTML) — the official Figma Dev Mode MCP is more suitable.
- Users who want quick evaluation without write capabilities — Remote SSE is sufficient.
- Users who want to design in the cloud but avoid installing the Desktop Bridge plugin (Cloud Mode still requires the plugin).
| - Users without an Atlassian Cloud site or relevant product permissions
- Deployments requiring a self-hosted MCP server
- Users unwilling to grant an AI client access to Atlassian data or actions
- Jira Service Management or Bitbucket Cloud workflows requiring OAuth authentication
|
|---|
| Required permissions | - Figma personal access token (PAT): file content read, file versions read, variables read, comments read/write (local mode).
- Desktop Bridge plugin permissions: access current file via plugin API, read selection, console logs, document changes, and execute write operations (create frames, variables, etc.).
- Local filesystem: the server writes/reads plugin files in ~/.figma-console-mcp/ (auto-created).
- WebSocket ports 9223-9232: the server listens on these ports locally for plugin connections.
- For Cloud Mode, OAuth is required (remote endpoint) or PAT (Cloud Mode bypasses Enterprise restrictions).
| - Jira and Confluence provide read, write, and search permission groups
- Jira Service Management provides read and write access through API tokens only
- Bitbucket Cloud provides read and write access through scoped API tokens only
- Compass is available through OAuth 2.1 only
- The first OAuth installer for a site must have access to the Atlassian apps requested by the MCP scopes
- Organization administrators can manage domain controls, API-token authentication, app access, and audit logs
|
|---|
| Risks and side effects | - Write operation risk: tools like figma_execute can run arbitrary plugin code, potentially modifying or deleting designs unintentionally — test on a copy file first.
- Token leakage: FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN is stored in plaintext in client configs; if the config file leaks, the token could be abused.
- Remote server trust: the remote SSE endpoint is hosted by a third party (southleft); data (design info) passes through their infrastructure; self-hosting options exist.
- Multi-instance issues: port conflicts may cause connection issues, but multi-instance support is implemented (automatic port fallback).
- Update banner issue: plugin-server version mismatch may cause persistent re-import prompts — fixed in recent releases, but restart clients after upgrading.
| - AI clients can perform Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass actions on the user’s behalf
- Prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, and tool-poisoning attacks may cause data exfiltration or unintended changes
- Use least privilege, scoped tokens, and minimal project or workspace access
- Require human confirmation for high-impact or destructive actions and monitor audit logs
