Official Figma MCP server

What it does

The official Figma MCP server lets Claude Code read from and write to your Figma files. Pull layout, colors, typography, and components straight out of a design, convert them to production code, and optionally push structured updates back to the canvas.

Features

  • Canvas read/write — browse Figma designs and create/update content directly
  • Code conversion — convert selected frames into frontend code
  • Variables / components extraction — pull design tokens, component properties, and layout data
  • Code Connect — link existing code components to Figma components for reuse
  • Web → Figma — turn web pages into Figma designs

Use cases

  1. Turn a Figma spec directly into a React/Tailwind component.
  2. Extract variables and tokens from a design system and apply them across your code.
  3. Reverse-convert an existing web page into a Figma design to clean up the design system.

When to use it

  • Implement a design spec without manually copying colors/spacings from the inspector
  • Generate component libraries mapped 1:1 to your Figma components
  • Keep design tokens in sync between Figma variables and code
