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.
This server implements all Figma API methods as MCP tools:
figma_get_me
- Get the current user
figma_get_file
- Get a Figma file by keyfigma_get_file_nodes
- Get specific nodes from a Figma filefigma_get_images
- Render images from a Figma filefigma_get_image_fills
- Get image fills in a Figma filefigma_get_file_versions
- Get version history of a Figma file
figma_get_comments
- Get comments in a Figma filefigma_post_comment
- Add a comment to a Figma filefigma_delete_comment
- Delete a comment from a Figma filefigma_get_comment_reactions
- Get reactions for a commentfigma_post_comment_reaction
- Add a reaction to a commentfigma_delete_comment_reaction
- Delete a reaction from a comment

To use this MCP server, you need to set up your Figma API token. You can do this in one of three ways:
Create a .env
file in the project root or set the environment variable directly:
FIGMA_API_KEY=your_figma_api_key
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
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json
:
{
"mcpServers": {
"figma": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@thirdstrandstudio/mcp-figma", "--figma-token", "your_figma_api_key"]
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"figma": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-figma/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"FIGMA_API_KEY": "your_figma_api_key"
}
}
}
}
{
"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.
