Figma official MCP server setup

Use a selected design as context for a component implementation.

Connect your AI client directly to Figma. This is a vendor-operated server, separate from ToolCargo’s hosted connectors. A ToolCargo key or subscription does not grant access to it.

Connection URL

Figma official remote URL
https://mcp.figma.com/mcp

Use a client that supports the vendor’s remote transport and authentication. Consult the official Figma instructions for your client’s current configuration.

Account and permissions

Sign in to Figma through the compatible client’s connection flow.

Access to the design file and a client supporting the remote server. Check Figma’s current seat and usage limits before use.

Choose the smallest account access needed. The example below requests read-only work; wording alone does not prevent writes. Review the tools, granted permissions and your client’s approval settings.

Set up and check a small result

  1. Add the official remote URL in your client’s MCP settings, using Figma’s instructions for that client.
  2. Complete authorization and choose a file or selection you can already view in Figma.
  3. Request context for that selection. Compare the source reference and observed layout with the design before using the response to write code.

Try this workflow

Read-only starter prompt
Read this Figma selection and describe its layout, spacing and component structure. Include the source node reference and identify details you cannot determine. Do not modify the design.

If access is denied or data is missing, check the selected account, resource permissions and vendor limits before retrying. Keep record or node references so you can verify the answer in the original application.
