MCP server to provide Figma layout information to AI coding agents like Cursor
Framelink MCP for Figma is a Model Context Protocol server, published as the npm package `figma-developer-mcp`, that gives AI coding agents direct access to Figma file data by querying the Figma REST API. A developer pastes a Figma file, frame, or group URL into their editor's chat, and the server fetches the corresponding layout and styling metadata, strips out irrelevant fields, and delivers a simplified response to the model. That deliberate trimming of the Figma API response is the key design choice: reducing context size is intended to improve code accuracy compared to alternatives like pasting screenshots. The server connects to any MCP-compatible client through stdio or an HTTP port and is configured via a JSON block in the editor's MCP server config file, requiring a Figma personal access token. Front-end developers and designers who work in Figma and want to translate those designs into code using Claude or other AI agents in Cursor or similar editors are the primary audience.

Give [Cursor](https://cursor.sh/) and other AI-powered coding tools access to your Figma files with this [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) server.
When Cursor has access to Figma design data, it's **way** better at one-shotting designs accurately than alternative approaches like pasting screenshots.

## Demo

[](https://youtu.be/6G9yb-LrEqg)
## How it works
1. Open your IDE's chat (e.g. agent mode in Cursor).
2. Paste a link to a Figma file, frame, or group.
3. Ask Cursor to do something with the Figma file—e.g. implement the design.
4. Cursor will fetch the relevant metadata from Figma and use it to write your code.
This MCP server is specifically designed for use with Cursor. Before responding with context from the [Figma API](https://www.figma.com/developers/api), it simplifies and translates the response so only the most relevant layout and styling information is provided to the model.
Reducing the amount of context provided to the model helps make the AI more accurate and the responses more relevant.
## Getting Started
Many code editors and other AI clients use a configuration file to manage MCP servers.
The `figma-developer-mcp` server can be configured by adding the following to your configuration file.
> NOTE: You will need to create a Figma access token to use this server. Instructions on how to create a Figma API access token can be found [here](https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/8085703771159-Manage-personal-access-tokens).
### MacOS / Linux
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"Framelink MCP for Figma": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "figma-developer-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY", "--stdio"]
}
}
}
```
### Windows
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"Framelink MCP for Figma": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "figma-developer-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY", "--stdio"]
}
}
}
```
Or you can set `FIGMA_API_KEY` and `PORT` in the `env` field.
If you need more information on how to configure the Framelink MCP for Figma, see the [Framelink docs](https://www.framelink.ai/docs/quickstart?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=readme).
