Figma Console MCP

Connects AI assistants to Figma to extract design-system variables and components, create and edit frames, sync tokens bidirectionally to DTCG/CSS, and run WCAG scans. Read-only SSE, Cloud Mode, or NPX modes expose up to 106 tools.

Introduction

Most Figma-to-AI bridges stop at reading: they pull variables and screenshots so an assistant can "see" a design. This one closes the loop — the AI writes back, creating frames, editing components, and pushing token edits into Figma. The interesting bet is treating a design system as a two-way API rather than a static export.

What Sets It Apart
  • Bidirectional token sync. Export Figma variables to DTCG JSON plus CSS custom properties, then push code-side edits back into Figma — positioned as a replacement for the Style Dictionary and Tokens Studio export pipeline, so design and code tokens share one source of truth instead of drifting apart.
  • Not gated behind Enterprise. Variable resolution runs through a Desktop Bridge plugin (Figma Plugin API), so features like naming real color tokens work on every Figma plan, not just Enterprise seats.
  • Tiered connection modes. Read-only Remote SSE (9 tools, ~2 min setup), Cloud Mode for web AI clients without Node.js (95 tools), or NPX/Local for the full 106 tools with real-time console monitoring — you trade capability against setup cost.
  • Beyond tokens. WCAG accessibility scanning with conformance tagging, version-history blame to trace when a property or variant was introduced, plus FigJam board and Slides authoring.
Great Fit / Look Elsewhere

Great fit if you maintain a design system and want an agent to keep Figma and code tokens in sync, or if you are feeding live design context into a coding agent. Look elsewhere if you only need read-only inspection — the lightweight SSE mode already covers that, and the write features add Desktop Bridge setup you would not use. Note that write features route through a Desktop Bridge plugin, so you need the Figma desktop app running — but not Node.js: Cloud Mode delivers full creation, editing, and variable management (95 tools) with no local runtime. Node.js is only needed for NPX/Local mode, whose extra tools add real-time console and selection monitoring, not more editing power.
