The Figma MCP server brings Figma design context directly into your AI workflow.
The Figma MCP server allows users to create and modify native Figma content directly from their MCP client, enabling agents to build and update frames, components, variables, and auto layout using a design system as the source of truth. This feature is currently available for free during the beta period but will become a usage-based paid feature in the future. Additionally, users can select Figma frames and convert them into code, streamlining the development process and enhancing productivity. As part of its capabilities, the server also adheres to specific rate limits based on user plans, ensuring that users on Starter plans or with limited seats have a defined number of tool calls per month. For those on higher-tier plans, the server follows the same rate limits as the Tier 1 Figma REST API, providing a structured and reliable experience for developers and designers alike.
