Figma MCP - Lightweight Full Access
A minimal MCP server providing full Figma Plugin API access through a single execute_code tool.
Fork Notice: This is a lightweight fork of claude-talk-to-figma-mcp by Xúlio Zé, which is based on cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp by Sonny Lazuardi.
Why This Fork?
The original MCP has 40+ specialized tools. This version has 2 tools:
| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | join_channel | Connect to Figma plugin | | execute_code | Run any Figma Plugin API code |
Benefits
- Context-efficient: Minimal tool definitions = more context for your actual work
- Full access: Execute any valid Figma Plugin API code
- No limitations: Not restricted to predefined operations
- Simpler maintenance: Less code to maintain
Setup
1. Configure Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):
Option A: Via npm (recommended) ``json { "mcpServers": { "FigmaMCP": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["figma-mcp-lightweight@latest"] } } } ``
Option B: From source ``bash git clone https://github.com/halilc4/figma-mcp-lightweight.git cd figma-mcp-lightweight bun install bun run build ``
{
"mcpServers": {
"FigmaMCP": {
"command": "bun",
"args": ["run", "/path/to/figma-mcp-lightweight/dist/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.js"]
}
}
}2. Setup Figma Plugin
Import src/claude_mcp_plugin/manifest.json in Figma: Menu > Plugins > Development > Import plugin from manifest
3. Connect
- Start WebSocket server:
bun socket - Open plugin in Figma, copy channel ID
- In Claude: "Connect to Figma channel {channel-ID}"
Usage
Once connected, Claude can execute any Figma Plugin API code:
// Create a frame
const frame = figma.createFrame();
frame.resize(400, 300);
frame.name = "My Frame";
// Access selection
const selected = figma.currentPage.selection;
// Modify nodes
node.fills = [{ type: 'SOLID', color: { r: 1, g: 0, b: 0 } }];See Figma Plugin API docs for full reference.
