Figma MCP Server

MCP Server for interacting with the Figma API. This server provides a complete set of Figma API methods through the Model Context Protocol. Sometimes on large figma files you might have to tell it to use depth = 1 for figma_get_file then increase when it needs more.

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Using npx

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@thirdstrandstudio/mcp-figma", "--figma-token", "your_figma_api_key"]
    }
  }
}
