mcp-server-guide: A guide on how to use the Figma MCP server
What problem it solves
AI agents need relevant design context from Figma files to generate code that follows a design system and reflects design intent. This project documents how to connect the Figma MCP server to supported clients, use its tools and skills, and apply practices for more consistent results.
Key features
Connect supported MCP clients — Setup instructions cover the Figma MCP server in VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other editors that support Streamable HTTP.
Source: README
Generate code from Figma designs — Agents can turn selected Figma frames into code and extract variables, components, and layout data for implementation in an IDE.
Source: README
Work with native Figma content — With the remote server and appropriate skills, agents can create and update frames, components, variables, and Auto layout in Figma files.
Source: README
Reuse components with Code Connect — Code Connect lets generated code reference actual components, helping keep implementation aligned with the codebase.
Source: README
Apply agent workflow skills — The repository includes standalone skills for workflows such as mapping UI recordings to storyboards and turning product requirements into FigJam project plans.
