Figma's official remote MCP: hands components, variables and layout from your designs to the agent to generate code, and can create and edit designs on the canvas. Needs Figma sign-in; Starter plans and View or Collab seats get only 6 read calls a month.

Figma's Codex plugin in OpenAI's official marketplace: implements UI from designs, generates Code Connect mappings, and creates or updates pages, component libraries, FigJam diagrams and slides in Figma. Needs a connected Figma account.

Uses a Figma plugin and a local WebSocket server so agents can read and directly edit designs: create frames and text, adjust auto layout and styles, and replace copy in bulk. Requires Bun; now maintained by Grab.

Lets agents read and write Figma: extract variables, components and styles, create and edit screens, FigJam boards and slides on the canvas, and run accessibility checks and design-system audits. Needs a Figma personal access token, the Figma desktop app, Node.js and the companion plugin.

Figma's official plugin: connects the remote Figma MCP server and bundles skills for design-to-code, Code Connect, and generating designs and libraries, letting agents read design context and write to the canvas. Needs a Figma account; Starter plans and View/Collab seats get 6 calls a month.

Figma's official skill collection: implement designs as code, map components with Code Connect, generate design-system libraries from code, and build screens and FigJam diagrams on the canvas. Needs the Figma MCP server; canvas writes are in beta and currently free.

Figma's official skill that teaches agents to run Plugin API scripts via use_figma, creating and editing nodes, components, variables and auto layout directly on the canvas. Load it before any use_figma call. Needs a Figma account and the remote MCP server.

Builds editable Figma designs on the canvas from screens, modals or sidebars in your code, or from a text description, reusing components and variables from the file's published design system first. Maintained by Figma; needs the remote Figma MCP server and the figma-use skill.

Figma's official CLI that links Figma design-system components to real components in your code, so Dev Mode and the Figma MCP show production snippets instead of generated examples. Needs Node.js 18+, a Figma Organization or Enterprise plan, a full Design or Dev Mode seat and an access token.

Free two-way Figma MCP that needs no paid Dev Mode seat: turns designs into code that fits your existing project, or builds pages and components on the canvas from a description, with data staying on your machine. Needs Node.js 20.19+, the Figma desktop app and the companion plugin.

Lets Claude Code, Cursor and others read and edit Figma designs via a plugin bridge: batch-change colors and fonts, check contrast, generate component code. Free Figma accounts work. Needs Node.js, Figma Desktop, the local WebSocket server running and the plugin imported.

Read and write Figma from the terminal with commands or JSX: create frames and components, insert Iconify icons, set layout, and export nodes as JSX or Storybook; can also run as an MCP server. Needs Figma Desktop; version 126+ requires daemon --pipe mode.

Exports Figma components (such as a full icon set) to SVG in bulk and styles like colors, text and shadows to Sass/SCSS variables or Style Dictionary tokens, keeping site icons and styles in sync with designs. Needs Node.js, a Figma token (FIGMA_TOKEN) and the matching output plugins.

Syncs component-contracts token files in W3C DTCG format into native Figma variables, building Primitives and Semantic collections with role-based scopes and web code syntax after you approve a plan. Prerequisite for cc-figma-component.

Syncs design tokens between code and Figma variables: normalizes both sides, reports drift by value, alias, mode and scope in a dry run, then stops for explicit approval before writing, archives rather than deletes, and saves JSON reports. Requires the Figma MCP server; invoked manually.
