#1111th of 23 in MCP servers for developers

cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp

MCP server that lets Cursor or Claude Code read and edit Figma files

Stars: 7k
License: MIT
Last commit: Jul 2026
Language: JavaScript

Missed the latest GitHub check; these facts may be older.

Overview

Connects an AI agent to Figma through three parts: a TypeScript MCP server, a WebSocket relay, and a Figma plugin. The agent joins a channel and calls tools to read document and node info, create frames and text, set auto-layout and styles, replace text in bulk, and export nodes as images. It also ships MCP prompts for design, text replacement and annotation workflows.

Who it is for: Designers and engineers who want Cursor or Claude Code to edit Figma files

Strengths

Broad tool set: about 40 tools covering reading, creation, auto layout, styling and components
Bulk text replacement and instance override propagation cut repetitive edits
Bundled MCP prompts guide multi-step tasks like annotation conversion and prototype-to-connector mapping
Plugin is published on the Figma community page, or can be linked locally

Weaknesses

Needs three pieces running: MCP server, WebSocket server (bun socket) and Figma plugin
Requires Bun; Windows WSL needs a manual edit to src/socket.ts
Image export is limited and returns base64 as text
No tagged releases; setup docs focus on Cursor, with Claude Code only mentioned

What it needs

no GPU
Docker
Needs Bun, Figma, WebSocket server (bun socket), Figma plugin
Models: Cursor, Claude Code

How to choose

Check what it can change (push, delete, run) and how that is scoped.
Prefer servers that run locally over ones that send your code to a third party.
Look at how many tool calls a task takes; chatty servers burn context.
