LucasGorgal/localfig

Overview

Turns the Figma desktop app into a local MCP server, exposing the full Figma Plugin API to AI agents. It reads and writes the open file, including tokens, components, exports, and undo, without a cloud API, token, or quota. One command registers it with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, Codex, and other MCP clients.
