Let AI agents read, analyze, and modify Figma designs
GitHub source repository ↗
53FMRS · D
This project provides a feature-rich MCP server that enables deep integration between AI agents and Figma. It supports design analysis, element creation, and modification, and is compatible with multiple AI tools. The biggest advantage is that it works without a Dev Mode license. It is a practical tool for design teams and developers, but attention should be paid to multi-agent modification risks and the development status of some features.
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI tools like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, etc. to interact with Figma design files. It supports design analysis, element creation, style modification, and works with any Figma account (even free ones) without needing a Dev Mode license. The server communicates with a Figma plugin via WebSocket and supports safe parallel execution for multiple AI agents.

Setup
- Run
npx claude-talk-to-figma-mcpto start the WebSocket server. - Install the plugin in Figma Desktop (Menu → Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest, select
src/claude_mcp_plugin/manifest.json). - Configure your AI tool:
- Claude Desktop: Download the .dxt file and double-click to auto-configure.
- Cursor: In settings, create a new MCP server with command npx -p claude-talk-to-figma-mcp@latest claude-talk-to-figma-mcp-server.
- Other tools: Follow the detailed installation guide.
- Open the plugin in Figma, copy the channel ID, and tell your AI: "Connect to Figma, channel {your-ID}".
Fit and risk
Not for
- Users needing full support for Figma Variables (still in development)
- Users needing advanced export to Tailwind CSS/SwiftUI (coming soon)
Required permissions
- Requires Node.js and Figma Desktop
- Requires network access to run npx and connect WebSocket
- Requires installing the Figma plugin and granting it access to the current design file
- AI tool must be configured to connect to the MCP server
Risks and side effects
- Multiple agents modifying the document simultaneously may cause conflicts, though the server has a command queue, it's recommended to explicitly specify the parentId parameter
- There may be undiscovered bugs as the project is under active development
- Dependencies on third-party npm packages and Figma plugins; ensure sources are trusted
Troubleshooting
- Ensure Node.js is installed and the npx command runs correctly
- Check that the Figma plugin is correctly installed and opened
- Ensure the channel ID is correctly copied and entered in the chat
- Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING.md for common error solutions
