Figma Context MCP
Pull LLM-friendly structure and context from Figma files so your agent can implement UI that matches design without manual spec copying.
Overview
Figma Context MCP is an MCP server for the Build phase that fetches LLM-optimized design context from Figma via the REST API.
What is this MCP server?
- LLM-optimized Figma context over raw API dumps
- stdio MCP via @tmegit/figma-developer-mcp (v0.13.0)
- Requires FIGMA_API_KEY personal access token
- Fits design-system and screen implementation workflows
- Complements code-gen Figma servers by focusing on context extraction
- Version 0.13.0
- npm identifier @tmegit/figma-developer-mcp with --stdio positional arg
- Required secret FIGMA_API_KEY per server.json
What problem does it solve?
You waste hours transcribing Figma specs into prompts because agents cannot see structured design context on their own.
Who is it for?
Solo front-end builders who design in Figma and implement with agent-assisted coding daily.
Skip if: Teams without Figma files or anyone who needs fully automated pixel-perfect codegen with no review step.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent queries live Figma file context to draft components and layouts aligned with the design source.
- Agent-readable Figma file and component context
- Faster UI implementation prompts grounded in live design data
- Repeatable stdio MCP config with documented env vars

Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Figma Context MCP for?
Indie developers and designers shipping UI from Figma who want MCP-backed, token-aware context in their coding agent.
When should I use Figma Context MCP?
During front-end build when you are implementing screens and need accurate structure from an existing Figma file.
How do I add Figma Context MCP to my agent?
Configure @tmegit/figma-developer-mcp with --stdio, set FIGMA_API_KEY to a Figma personal access token, and register the server in your MCP client.
