Figma MCP servers: which one to use

Use Figma's official server for design to code. Choose Framelink to read designs with a token, or Talk to Figma, Figma Console or Bridge to edit via a plugin.

Figma has its own server, and most people should start there. It reads designs for code and, on the remote version, can also edit your files. The catch is call limits: free plans and View or Collab seats get 20 read calls a month. If that blocks you, the community servers read through a token or a plugin instead.

Good for

  • Developers who turn Figma frames into code in Cursor, Claude Code or VS Code
  • Designers who want an assistant to build or restyle frames in Figma
  • Design system teams who need tokens, components and accessibility checks
  • People on a free Figma plan who hit the call limit

Which Figma MCP server to use

Use Figma's own server unless you hit the free-plan call limit or want full design-system tooling. Framelink is the pick for read-only design to code, and Figma Console is the pick for design system work.

Questions

Is there an official Figma MCP server?

Yes. Figma runs a remote server at https://mcp.figma.com/mcp and a desktop server inside the Figma app. Sign in with your Figma account.

How many calls do I get on the free plan?

Figma's developer docs say Starter plans and View or Collab seats get up to 20 read calls a month. Full and Dev seats get up to 200 a day on Professional and Organization plans, and up to 600 on Enterprise.

Which Figma MCP server can I use without hitting call limits?

Figma MCP Bridge. Its README says it streams data from a plugin in the Figma desktop app, so it avoids Figma API limits. Talk to Figma and Figma Console also work through a plugin.

Can an MCP server edit my Figma designs?

Yes. Figma's remote server, Talk to Figma, Figma Console and Figma MCP Bridge can create and change content. Framelink only reads. Work on a copy of important files.

Which one is read-only?

Framelink has no tool that writes to Figma, and its --skip-image-downloads option also stops it saving images. Figma's desktop server reads design context but cannot write to the canvas.

Do I need a Figma access token?

For Framelink and Figma Console, yes: create a personal access token in your Figma settings. Figma's own server signs you in with your account. Talk to Figma and Figma Bridge connect through a plugin instead.

What does the Figma Console server add over Figma's own?

Design system work. Its README covers token export, accessibility and parity checks, version diffs and scripts across several files. Figma's server focuses on design to code and Code Connect.

Why do I get 403 Forbidden from Figma's remote server?

Figma only lets AI apps from its approved client list connect to the remote server. Others get a 403. Use the desktop server or a community server instead.

Does Framelink send usage data?

Yes, by default. Framelink's source turns it off with the --no-telemetry flag, FRAMELINK_TELEMETRY=off or DO_NOT_TRACK.

How do I add a Figma server to Claude Code or Cursor?

Open the server's page from the table and use its install box. Talk to Figma, Figma Console and Figma MCP Bridge also need a Figma plugin.
