Summary
Read access to Figma files is the working surface.
Reading files and listing them is what the author reports as tested and functional. Variable and theme management is written into the server but not enabled — Figma's API does not expose it — so plan around reading designs, not writing design tokens.
What it is
A read path into Figma's API: the files available to your token, and one file's contents. Both stdio and SSE transports are supported.
What you get
- The Figma files your token can reach
- One file's contents, read through the API
- Responses cached, rate limits handled, and usage statistics tracked
Requirements
Node.js 18.x or newer and a Figma access token in the environment as FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN. Build the server, then point your client at dist/index.js using an absolute path — a relative one does not resolve.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npm install figma-mcp-server, then supply credentials
