Review first — review before installing

Open the source and read safety notes before installing.

Safety notes

  • The server reads Figma design data through a personal access token; use the least access practical.
  • Review generated UI code before merging because layout context does not guarantee accessibility, responsive behavior, or product correctness.
  • Do not point agents at confidential designs, unreleased product work, or customer-specific mocks unless that exposure is approved.

Privacy notes

  • Figma file names, frame names, component names, layout metadata, styling, copy, and design tokens may be sent through the MCP server and AI client.
  • Figma access tokens are sensitive credentials and should stay out of prompts, screenshots, shared configs, and commits.
  • Design metadata can reveal product strategy, upcoming features, customer workflows, and brand assets.

Prerequisites

  • Figma account with access to the files the agent should read.
  • Figma personal access token stored outside prompts and repository files.
  • Node.js and npx.
  • MCP client such as Claude Code, Cursor, or another compatible coding assistant.
  • Permission from the design owner before exposing private Figma files to an AI workflow.

About this resource

Content

Figma Context MCP is the Framelink MCP server for Figma design data. It lets an MCP client fetch simplified Figma layout and styling context from a file, frame, or group link so a coding agent can implement designs with more structure than a screenshot-only workflow.

The project is published as figma-developer-mcp and is designed for AI-powered coding tools such as Cursor and other MCP clients.

Source Review

These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-05. Prefer live Framelink docs for current setup, command flags, client examples, and Figma token requirements.

Features

  • Fetch Figma file, frame, and group context from links.
  • Simplify Figma API responses before sending layout context to the model.
  • Provide styling and layout metadata that coding agents can map into UI code.
  • Support stdio MCP client configuration through figma-developer-mcp.
  • Reduce context noise compared with raw Figma API payloads.

Installation

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add figma-context -e FIGMA_API_KEY=your-token -- npx -y figma-developer-mcp --stdio

For JSON-based MCP clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-context": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "figma-developer-mcp", "--stdio"],
      "env": {
        "FIGMA_API_KEY": "YOUR_FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

After setup, paste a Figma file, frame, or group link into the agent prompt and ask for implementation help.

Use Cases

  • Implement a Figma frame as a React, Vue, Svelte, or HTML/CSS component.
  • Extract layout, spacing, typography, and color context for a design handoff.
  • Compare generated UI against source design structure.
  • Give an agent source design metadata before building a first-pass interface.

Safety and Privacy

Figma files often contain unreleased product direction, brand work, customer flows, and internal copy. Only use tokens and files that are approved for the AI workflow. Review generated code for accessibility, responsive behavior, design system fit, and product correctness before shipping.

Keep Figma tokens in environment variables or client secret storage, never in repository files or screenshots.
