Figma MCP Server

When Claude/Cursor has direct access to Figma design data, it can generate accurate designs in a single step—far more effectively than approaches that rely on screenshots.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing read-only integration with the Figma API. Supports core Figma file and project access, designed for use with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients.

Features

• Secure authentication with Figma API
• Figma file operations (read, list)

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18.x or higher
• Figma access token (read permissions)

Configuration

1. Copy .env.example to .env and set your Figma access token:

FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_figma_token
MCP_SERVER_PORT=3000
DEBUG=figma-mcp:*

2. For Claude Desktop integration, add the server to your Claude config (see examples/claude_desktop_config.json).
