About GLips/Figma-Context-MCP

MCP server that exposes Figma design files as structured context to AI coding agents like Cursor. Allows LLMs to read layout, component, and design token information directly from Figma, enabling code generation that matches design specifications without manual translation.

Best for

Teams using Figma and AI coding assistants who want to automate component generation from design files.

Use cases

  • Generate React components from Figma designs with accurate spacing and styling
  • Automate handoff from design to development by feeding design context to coding agents
  • Extract design tokens and component specs for consistent implementation

Notes

14,946 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-05-27. Licensed MIT.

Pros

  • Bridges design-to-code gap by making Figma data machine-readable to LLMs
  • Works with existing MCP-compatible agents (Cursor, Claude, others)
  • Reduces manual design spec translation and copy-paste errors

Cons

  • Requires Figma API access and authentication setup
  • Output quality depends on how well Figma designs are structured and organized
  • Limited to layout and structure extraction, not pixel-perfect visual rendering

Health and security

Is GLips/Figma-Context-MCP looked after, and what do its setup files show

Security check static checks

97 out of 100

Reads what is published about the server: package advisories, licence, secrets in the documented setup and tool permissions. Nothing is installed or run, so this is not a security assessment. Checked by edna-static-v1 npm:figma-developer-mcp@0.13.2. What it checks

Licence: MIT

  • Low The documented setup passes figma-api-key as a command-line argument, where it shows in process lists and shell history. An environment variable keeps it out of both.
  • Note The lab has not recorded this server's tool list yet, so tool permissions were not checked.
