GLips/Figma-Context-MCP

This MCP server supplies simplified Figma layout and styling data to AI coding agents so they can implement UI designs accurately. It translates Figma API responses into relevant layout and styling information, reducing context usage and supporting one-shot design implementation.

Project overview

Project type: MCP
Use cases: Coding & Development
Deployment: Refer to project documentation
License: MIT

Best for

Developers using AI-powered code editors or coding agents who need to implement Figma designs accurately.

Key capabilities

An MCP server that provides Figma layout, metadata, and styling information to AI coding agents via the Model Context Protocol.
Simplifies and translates Figma API responses so only the most relevant layout and styling information is provided to the model, improving accuracy and reducing context usage.
Runs as a local stdio server executable via npx without requiring manual installation.

Limitations and risks

The server is specifically designed for use with Cursor, although other MCP clients may work.
Requires a Figma API access token to fetch Figma file metadata and design data.

Getting started

Setup is configurable via a standard JSON config file using npx without manual installation. The first success path involves creating a Figma API access token, opening the IDE MCP configuration file, adding the figma-developer-mcp server configuration with npx, and pasting a Figma link into the IDE chat.
