Figma MCP Server with full API functionality
Figma MCP Server with full API functionality. That is what the figma mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
MCP Server for interacting with the Figma API. This server provides a complete set of Figma API methods through the Model Context Protocol. Sometimes on large figma files you might have to tell it to use depth = 1 for figma_get_file then increase when it needs more.
The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Configuration is passed through the environment: FIGMA_API_KEY, YOUR_FIGMA_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Figma's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by thirdstrandstudio; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
