Figma MCP Server

MCP Server for interacting with the Figma API. This server provides a complete set of Figma API methods through the Model Context Protocol. Sometimes on large figma files you might have to tell it to use depth = 1 for figma_get_file then increase when it needs more.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or later)
• npm or yarn

Installing the package

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/thirdstrandstudio/mcp-figma.git
cd mcp-figma

Setup

To use this MCP server, you need to set up your Figma API token. You can do this in one of three ways:

1. Environment Variable

Create a .env file in the project root or set the environment variable directly:

FIGMA_API_KEY=your_figma_api_key

2. Command Line Arguments

When starting the server, you can pass your Figma API token as a command-line argument:

# Using the long form
node dist/index.js --figma-token YOUR_FIGMA_TOKEN

# Or using the short form
node dist/index.js -ft YOUR_FIGMA_TOKEN

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

Using npx

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@thirdstrandstudio/mcp-figma", "--figma-token", "your_figma_api_key"]
    }
  }
}

Direct Node.js (with environment variable)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-figma/dist/index.js"],  
      "env": {
        "FIGMA_API_KEY": "your_figma_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Direct Node.js (with command-line argument)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-figma/dist/index.js", "--figma-token", "your_figma_api_key"]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/mcp-figma with the actual path to your repository.
