figma

Use the Figma MCP server to fetch design context, screenshots, variables, and assets from Figma, and to translate Figma nodes into production code. Trigger when a task involves Figma URLs, node IDs, design-to-code implementation, or Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting.

Decision brief

What it does: where it fits

Use the Figma MCP server for Figma-driven implementation. For setup and debugging details (env vars, config, verification), see references/figma-mcp-config.md.

Best for

    Not for

    • Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
    • Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

    Installation

    Inspect first. Install second.

    The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

    Inspect the Agent Skill "figma" from https://github.com/openai/skills/blob/49f948faa9258a0c61caceaf225e179651397431/skills/.curated/figma/SKILL.md at commit 49f948faa9258a0c61caceaf225e179651397431. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.

      Asset handling

      The Figma MCP Server provides an assets endpoint which can serve image and SVG assets.

    Figma MCP

    Use the Figma MCP server for Figma-driven implementation. For setup and debugging details (env vars, config, verification), see references/figma-mcp-config.md.

    Figma MCP Integration Rules

    These rules define how to translate Figma inputs into code for this project and must be followed for every Figma-driven change.

    Required flow (do not skip)

    1. Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s).
    2. If the response is too large or truncated, run get_metadata to get the high-level node map and then re-fetch only the required node(s) with get_design_context.
    3. Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented.
    4. Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation.
    5. Translate the output (usually React + Tailwind) into this project's conventions, styles and framework. Reuse the project's color tokens, components, and typography wherever possible.
    6. Validate against Figma for 1:1 look and behavior before marking complete.

    Implementation rules

    • Treat the Figma MCP output (React + Tailwind) as a representation of design and behavior, not as final code style.
    • Replace Tailwind utility classes with the project's preferred utilities/design-system tokens when applicable.
    • Reuse existing components (e.g., buttons, inputs, typography, icon wrappers) instead of duplicating functionality.
    • Use the project's color system, typography scale, and spacing tokens consistently.
    • Respect existing routing, state management, and data-fetch patterns already adopted in the repo.
    • Strive for 1:1 visual parity with the Figma design. When conflicts arise, prefer design-system tokens and adjust spacing or sizes minimally to match visuals.
    • Validate the final UI against the Figma screenshot for both look and behavior.

    Asset handling

    • The Figma MCP Server provides an assets endpoint which can serve image and SVG assets.
    • IMPORTANT: If the Figma MCP Server returns a localhost source for an image or an SVG, use that image or SVG source directly.
    • IMPORTANT: DO NOT import/add new icon packages, all the assets should be in the Figma payload.
    • IMPORTANT: do NOT use or create placeholders if a localhost source is provided.

    Link-based prompting

    • The server is link-based: copy the Figma frame/layer link and give that URL to the MCP client when asking for implementation help.
    • The client cannot browse the URL but extracts the node ID from the link; always ensure the link points to the exact node/variant you want.

    References

    • references/figma-mcp-config.md — setup, verification, troubleshooting, and link-based usage reminders.
    • references/figma-tools-and-prompts.md — tool catalog and prompt patterns for selecting frameworks/components and fetching metadata.
