Common questions

Is figmcp safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.6.0) reached the registry 19 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Design and code, locally.

Turn Figma frames into Flutter and React code, and let your coding agent design in Figma.

No Figma API calls. No rate limits.

Website · Docs · Installation · Tools · Changelog

figmcp is a local MCP server that gives your coding agent the Figma file you have open in Figma Desktop. A development plugin streams the file to a server on your machine over localhost, so reads never touch the Figma REST API: no access token, no quota, no rate limit.

Design to code. Flutter widgets for Flutter projects, HTML + Tailwind for static sites, React + Tailwind for everything else, with the assets and a screenshot to compare against.
Design in Figma. The agent creates and edits frames in the open file with Figma plugin API scripts, one undo step per script.
Your components. Map design components to code components with Code Connect.
Works offline. Read saved snapshots when the plugin is closed.
Any plan. Works on every Figma plan, including the free Starter plan. No Dev Mode seat needed.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop and any MCP client that runs stdio servers.

Quick start

Needs Node.js 18+ and Figma Desktop on macOS or Windows.

1. Run setup

npx -y @irshad.io/figma-local-mcp@latest setup

It registers the server with Claude Code, copies the Figma plugin to your home folder, and prints your pairing code and the config for other MCP clients.

2. Import the plugin (once)

In Figma Desktop, go to Plugins › Development › Import plugin from manifest… and choose:

macOS	Windows
`~/.figma-local-mcp/plugin/manifest.json`	`%USERPROFILE%\.figma-local-mcp\plugin\manifest.json`

On macOS, press ⌘ ⇧ G in the file picker and paste the path. On Windows, paste it into the File name box.

3. Pair and ask

Restart your coding agent. In Figma Desktop, run Plugins › Development › figmcp and enter the pairing code. The dot turns green once it's connected. Then select a frame and ask:

implement the selected Figma frame

Keep the plugin window open while you work. Full guide: figmcp.web.app/docs/installation.

Usage

Design to code

Select a frame, or paste a Figma link that has a node-id:

implement this frame as a Flutter screen and match the spacing exactly

build this frame as a React component with Tailwind, using our existing Button compare your screen with the Figma screenshot and fix the differences

Projects with a pubspec.yaml get Flutter widgets, and SVGs and images are saved into the asset folders the pubspec declares. Static sites get HTML + Tailwind, and everything else gets React + Tailwind. React output uses the real font families, declares the design's variables as CSS (with a Tailwind 4 @theme), writes repeated items as data with .map() and names reused text styles, names assets after their layers with copy commands for public/figma, turns prototype taps, layer names and placeholders into buttons, links, landmarks and inputs, draws phone frames as screens that fill the viewport and desktop frames as pages whose full-width sections stretch. Its classes work in Tailwind 3.4 and 4. The code is a reference that your agent adapts to your project. More →

Design in Figma

Open the file in Figma Desktop, run the plugin and ask:

design a settings screen for a 390x844 phone in Figma

add a dark mode version of the selected frame next to it

The agent builds the design with use_figma and checks each step with a screenshot. Each script is one undo step. More →

Code Connect

map the selected button to AppButton in lib/widgets/app_button.dart

which components in this frame are not mapped yet?

Mapped instances come back as your own components. Mappings are saved in .figma-local/code-connect.json in your project. More →

MCP clients

Claude Code is registered by setup. Restart it and check with /mcp.

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other clients: add the config that setup prints. It looks like this, with paths for your machine:

"mcpServers": { "figma-local": { "command": "/usr/local/bin/node", "args": ["/Users/you/.figma-local-mcp/app/node_modules/@irshad.io/figma-local-mcp/bin/figma-local-mcp.js"] } } }

Client	Config file
Cursor	`~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (one project)
Claude Desktop (macOS)	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Claude Desktop (Windows)	`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

Step-by-step for each client, on macOS and Windows: figmcp.web.app/docs/configuration.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`get_design_context`	Reference code (Flutter or React + Tailwind), assets, a screenshot and variables for a node. The main tool.
`get_metadata`	Layer tree as XML: ids, types, names, positions and sizes.
`get_screenshot`	PNG of a node or the selection.
`get_variable_defs`	Variables and styles used by a node, resolved for its mode.
`download_assets`	Exported renders, original image fills and vector SVGs.
`verify_code`	Render Flutter code with `flutter test`, or React or HTML + Tailwind in headless Chrome, and compare it with Figma's render: errors, layout mismatches, differing pixels and a diff image.
`use_figma`	Run Figma plugin API scripts to create and edit designs.
`search_design_system`	Components (with properties and variants), styles and variables of the open file, to reuse while designing.
`place_image`	Put a local PNG, JPG, GIF or SVG into the open file, as a new layer or a layer's fill.
`get_code_connect_map`	Which instances map to which code components.
`add_code_connect_map`	Map a design component to a code component.
`remove_code_connect_map`	Remove a component mapping.
`whoami`	Connection status, pairing code, open file, selection and snapshots.
`save_design_export`	Write a full design export of a node to JSON.
`import_design_export`	Load an export JSON as a snapshot.

Arguments for each tool: figmcp.web.app/docs/tools.

How it works

Figma Desktop  ── WebSocket 127.0.0.1:3947 ──▶  figma-local-mcp  ── MCP stdio ──▶  Coding agent

(dev plugin) paired with your code (node server) (Claude Code, Cursor, …)

The plugin reads the open file with the Figma plugin API and runs the scripts your agent sends. The server turns that into code, assets, screenshots and metadata. When the plugin is closed, reads fall back to the newest saved snapshot. More →

Configuration

Set these in the env of your MCP client config.

Variable	Default	Description
`FIGMA_LOCAL_MCP_DIR`	`~/.figma-local-mcp`	Data folder: plugin, pairing code, snapshots and assets.
`FIGMA_LOCAL_MCP_FRAMEWORK`		Force `flutter`, `react` or `html` when the client doesn't say.
`FIGMA_LOCAL_MCP_CODE_CONNECT`	`.figma-local/code-connect.json`	Path of the Code Connect mappings file.
`FIGMA_LOCAL_MCP_ALLOW_ORIGINS`		Comma separated extra origins the server accepts for the plugin.

Update

npx -y @irshad.io/figma-local-mcp@latest setup

Then restart your coding agent and run the plugin again. The plugin updates itself, so there's no need to import it again.

Troubleshooting

The dot stays grey: start your coding agent first, then run the plugin again.
Lost the pairing code: run setup again, or ask your agent to run whoami.
`use_figma` can't edit the file: switch the file from Dev Mode back to Design mode.

More fixes: figmcp.web.app/docs/troubleshooting. Still stuck? Open an issue with the output of whoami.

Development

npm install

npm test

Path	What
`bin/`, `src/`	The MCP server, plugin bridge and code generators
`plugin/`	The Figma development plugin
`tools/`	Visual and Flutter checks for generated code
`test/`	Tests (`node --test`)
`web/`	The website and docs (figmcp.web.app), Next.js on Firebase Hosting

To work on the site: cd web && npm install && npm run dev. To publish it: npm run deploy.
