Talk to Figma MCP

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration between AI agent (Cursor, Claude Code) and Figma, allowing AI agent to communicate with Figma for reading designs and modifying them programmatically.

Project Structure

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/ - TypeScript MCP server for Figma integration
• src/cursor_mcp_plugin/ - Figma plugin for communicating with Cursor
• src/socket.ts - WebSocket server that facilitates communication between the MCP server and Figma plugin

How to use

1. Install Bun if you haven't already:

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

2. Run setup, this will also install MCP in your Cursor's active project

bun setup

3. Start the Websocket server

bun socket

4. NEW Install Figma plugin from Figma community page or install locally

Design Automation Example

Bulk text content replacement

Thanks to @dusskapark for contributing the bulk text replacement feature. Here is the demo video.

Instance Override Propagation Another contribution from @dusskapark Propagate component instance overrides from a source instance to multiple target instances with a single command. This feature dramatically reduces repetitive design work when working with component instances that need similar customizations. Check out our demo video.

Manual Setup and Installation

MCP Server: Integration with Cursor

Add the server to your Cursor MCP configuration in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "TalkToFigma": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

WebSocket Server

Start the WebSocket server:

bun socket

Figma Plugin

1. In Figma, go to Plugins > Development > New Plugin
2. Choose "Link existing plugin"
3. Select the src/cursor_mcp_plugin/manifest.json file
4. The plugin should now be available in your Figma development plugins

Windows + WSL Guide

1. Install bun via powershell

powershell -c "irm bun.sh/install.ps1|iex"

2. Uncomment the hostname 0.0.0.0 in src/socket.ts

// uncomment this to allow connections in windows wsl
hostname: "0.0.0.0",

3. Start the websocket

bun socket

Usage

1. Start the WebSocket server
2. Install the MCP server in Cursor
3. Open Figma and run the Cursor MCP Plugin
4. Connect the plugin to the WebSocket server by joining a channel using join_channel
5. Use Cursor to communicate with Figma using the MCP tools

Local Development Setup

To develop, update your mcp config to direct to your local directory.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "TalkToFigma": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["/path-to-repo/src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Tools

The MCP server provides the following tools for interacting with Figma:

Document & Selection

• get_document_info - Get information about the current Figma document
• get_selection - Get information about the current selection
• read_my_design - Get detailed node information about the current selection without parameters
• get_node_info - Get detailed information about a specific node
• get_nodes_info - Get detailed information about multiple nodes by providing an array of node IDs
• set_focus - Set focus on a specific node by selecting it and scrolling viewport to it
• set_selections - Set selection to multiple nodes and scroll viewport to show them
