Framelink MCP for Figma

Let your AI read your Figma designs and turn them into working code.

This is a small helper that connects your AI coding tool to Figma, the app where designers make mockups of screens. Once it is set up, you can paste a Figma link into your AI chat and ask it to build that screen. It is handy for anyone who gets a design from a designer and has to turn it into a real page or app.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI one new skill or one new connection. This helper connects your AI to Figma, so when you paste a Figma link, the AI can actually go and read the design instead of guessing. Think of it as giving your AI a pair of eyes for your design files.

What this MCP server does

You paste a link to a Figma file, frame, or group into your AI chat and ask it to build the design. Your AI passes that link to this helper. The helper talks to Figma, fetches the design details, and tidies them up so only the useful layout and styling bits are sent back. Your AI then uses that clean information to write the code for you. You get code that matches the design much more closely than if you had just pasted a screenshot.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Build this Figma screen as a React component”, the Framelink MCP for Figma connects it to Figma, and you get back code that matches your design.

What you can do with it

Turn a Figma frame into working HTML, CSS, or a component in your framework
Read the layout, spacing, and colors from a Figma design
Recreate a screen from a Figma link in your own codebase
Compare what your code looks like with the original Figma design
Build several screens from the same Figma file one after another

Try asking your AI

“Here is a Figma link, please build this screen as a React component: https://www.figma.com/file/...”
“Turn this Figma frame into HTML and CSS that matches my existing styles”
“Look at this Figma design and tell me what colors and font sizes it uses”
“Rebuild this Figma card as a Vue component with the same spacing”

What it gives back to you

You get code written by your AI, based on the real design instead of a guess. You may also get short explanations of the layout, colors, and sizes it found. Everything shows up right in your AI chat, the same way any other answer does. The design itself in Figma is not changed.

Before you start

What you need

A Figma account and a personal access token from Figma (a kind of password the Figma site gives you for free)
An AI coding tool that supports MCP servers, such as Cursor
Node.js installed on your computer (the npx command comes with it)

Good to know

Your Figma access token lets the helper read your Figma files, so keep it private and do not paste it into public places.
