Figma MCP Server
The Figma MCP Server connects your Figma designs to the AI: it can read a frame's layout, spacing, colors, and fonts, then generate matching front-end code.
It's especially useful for design-to-code work — no manually measuring pixels or copying color values; the AI pulls straight from the design source data.
What it does for you
Lets your AI read your Figma designs — pull layout, colors, spacing, and component data to turn designs straight into code.
Capabilities
- Read layout and styles from Figma files
- Extract design tokens (color / spacing / type)
- Turn design nodes into frontend code
Once installed, try asking your AI
Say this directly in Claude / Cursor or any client with this server connected
- ›“Convert this Figma component into a React + Tailwind component”
- ›“Extract every color used in this design into a palette”

Why use it
Good for: front-end developers and teams doing pixel-accurate design implementation who want to turn Figma frames into code quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Figma permissions does it need?
It needs a Figma access token to read files — configure it with least privilege.
Which framework's code can it generate?
It provides structured design data; whether the output is React/Vue/Tailwind depends on your AI client and prompt.
