FigmaVerified 7 Oct 2026Official documentation: Figma Developers, MCP server

What it is, in Figma’s terms

Provides design information and context to AI agents generating code from Figma files. It can also create and modify native Figma content from an MCP client. Only clients in Figma's MCP catalogue can connect.

Craft guidance

Best for

Developers using AI coding agents
Design-system work across design and code

Not really for

Designers who do not work with a coding agent

When to use it

When your team builds with an AI coding agent and wants it to use the design, not guess from a screenshot.

Example workflow

Developer connects their client
Select a frame
Agent generates code using design context
Review against the design

Key features, as Figma lists them

Turn a selected frame into code
Pull variables, components and layout data into an IDE
Create frames, components and variables from a client
A remote server that needs no desktop app

What it overlaps with

Dev Mode is for people inspecting. The MCP server is for agents.
