Summary

The design file, where the code is being written.

It is deliberately small — one key, one command, and the agent can look at the file it is supposed to be implementing instead of asking you to describe it.

What it is

A small Python MCP server, published to PyPI as `figma-mcp`, that lets AI coding agents reach Figma files and prototypes using a Figma API key you pass on the command line.

What you get

Figma files and prototypes readable from Cursor, Windsurf and other MCP clients
One command to install and one to run — `pipx install figma-mcp`, then `figma-mcp --figma-api-key=your_figma_key`
Per-project wiring through `.cursor/mcp.json`, or a global `mcp_config.json` for other editors
A source path for local work: `uv venv`, `uv sync`, then `python -m figma_mcp.main`

Requirements

A Figma API key, passed as `--figma-api-key`. Install with pipx from PyPI, or clone and set up with uv. Version 0.1.3.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — pipx install figma-mcp, then supply credentials
