From GitHub's daily star counts.
Checked on GitHub.
Overview
TypeScript MCP server exposing about 130 tools that let an AI client read and edit Figma files through a Desktop Bridge plugin: frames, components, variables, FigJam boards and Slides. It also exports tokens to DTCG JSON, compares Figma components against code, and runs WCAG and design-system health checks. It runs via npx, a cloud relay for web clients, or a read-only remote SSE endpoint.
Who it is for: Designers and design-system engineers connecting AI clients to Figma
Strengths
- Writes to Figma: creates components, frames, variables and FigJam boards, not just read access
- Bidirectional token sync with DTCG JSON export plus 9 other formats
- Deterministic checks: 14 WCAG design checks, design-code parity, scored health audit
- Four connection modes, including a cloud relay for Claude.ai, v0 and Replit
Weaknesses
- Writing requires Figma Desktop with a manually imported Desktop Bridge plugin
- Tool count varies by mode: 130 local, 105 cloud, read-only subset on remote SSE
- Real-time monitoring and codebase extraction (figma_ds_*) work only in local mode
- Plugin is cached by Figma, so some upgrades require re-importing the manifest
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Node.js 18+, Figma Desktop, Figma personal access token, Desktop Bridge plugin
- Models: Claude, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf
