Figma MCP

Purpose: evaluate Figma-connected MCP servers for design context, file inspection, and handoff workflows

Official/source link: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/getting-started/intro

Maintainer: varies by implementation

License: Requires verification

Last verified: 2026-07-14

Status: Documentation verified

Verification scope: protocol docs plus Figma auth and scope docs reviewed; no specific server implementation approved from this repo

Mode

Evaluation checklist.

Typical Capabilities

  • inspect files, nodes, and comments
  • extract design metadata
  • support implementation handoff

Main Risks

  • broad access to product design files
  • exposure of unreleased designs or stakeholder comments
  • org-level tokens or plan tokens can exceed the intended scope

Approval Questions

  • is auth based on personal access, OAuth, or plan access tokens
  • which scopes are requested
  • can the server read only the files needed for the task
  • does it access org or enterprise-level data

Suggested Read-Only Trial

Approve read access to a test design file or one low-risk project before exposing broad workspace content.

Revocation Plan

  • revoke the OAuth app or token
  • rotate any organization-level token if used
  • remove the host config entry

Verification Status

Good fit for engineering handoff, but keep access narrow because design files often include unreleased product context.
