Figma MCP

Figma MCP is an advanced tool that enhances design portability, allowing users to bring live design systems and layout information directly into their integrated development environments (IDEs) and AI agents. With the recent updates, the Figma MCP server now supports remote access, facilitating seamless integration of design context into various workflows—from AI agents to different coding platforms like Android Studio, Replit, and Warp—without the need for a desktop app. This flexibility mirrors Figma’s foundational mission to bring teams closer, starting from the browser.

Moreover, the MCP server is expanding its functionality by integrating with Figma Make, enabling a bridge between design prototypes and the corresponding codebase. This not only indexes the code within Make files but also allows for direct code reuse by developers and AI models. Collaborative efforts with partners such as Anthropic and VS Code have made this functionality widely accessible, broadening the potential for streamlined product development.

Additionally, improvements to Code Connect now provide an enhanced in-app mapping experience, aligning codebase components with Figma designs more effectively. By automating component mapping, Code Connect facilitates production-ready code snippets, improving developer efficiency and output consistency.

A key feature of this update is a commitment to secure extensibility. Public third-party integrations and MCP clients require review by Figma for security and reliability assurance, complementing the platform’s established plugin and widget review procedures. Rate limits for the REST API are also being revised to ensure a more predictable user experience.

These features are currently in beta, with Figma persistently refining them to achieve broader availability. As Figma MCP evolves, it aims to become a bi-directional connector capable of integrating external context back into Figma, reducing rebuilds and facilitating the creation of more accurate and interactive prototypes.
