- Designed for use with Cursor and other AI coding tools.
- Simplifies Figma API responses to relevant layout and styling info.
- Reduces context size for more accurate AI responses.
- Supports one-shot implementation of designs in any framework.
- Requires only a Figma personal access token to get started.
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Framelink Figma MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Add the server to your MCP configuration file using npx -y figma-developer-mcp with a --figma-api-key flag or by setting the FIGMA_API_KEY environment variable. After configuration, paste a link to a Figma file, frame, or group into your IDE’s chat and ask the AI to implement the design.
get_figma_data
Get comprehensive Figma file data including layout, content, visuals, and component information
download_figma_images
Download SVG and PNG images used in a Figma file based on the IDs of image or icon nodes. Images will be saved relative to the server's image directory: /tmp/mcp-tools-sandbox-fGaakE
Claude Desktop / Cursor

Give Cursor and other AI-powered coding tools access to your Figma files with this Model Context Protocol server.
When Cursor has access to Figma design data, it's way better at one-shotting designs accurately than alternative approaches like pasting screenshots.

Demo
Watch a demo of building a UI in Cursor with Figma design data
How it works
1. Open your IDE's chat (e.g. agent mode in Cursor).
2. Paste a link to a Figma file, frame, or group.
3. Ask Cursor to do something with the Figma file—e.g. implement the design.
4. Cursor will fetch the relevant metadata from Figma and use it to write your code.
This MCP server is specifically designed for use with Cursor. Before responding with context from the Figma API, it simplifies and translates the response so only the most relevant layout and styling information is provided to the model.
Reducing the amount of context provided to the model helps make the AI more accurate and the responses more relevant.
Getting Started
Many code editors and other AI clients use a configuration file to manage MCP servers.
The figma-developer-mcp server can be configured by adding the following to your configuration file.
> NOTE: You will need to create a Figma access token to use this server. Instructions on how to create a Figma API access token can be found here.
MacOS / Linux
{
"mcpServers": {
"Framelink Figma MCP": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "figma-developer-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY", "--stdio"]
}
}
}
Windows
{
"mcpServers": {
"Framelink Figma MCP": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "figma-developer-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY", "--stdio"]
}
}
}
Or you can set FIGMA_API_KEY and PORT in the env field.
If you need more information on how to configure the Framelink Figma MCP server, see the Framelink docs.
