[](https://thirdstrandstudio.com)
[](https://smithery.ai/server/@thirdstrandstudio/mcp-figma)
MCP Server for interacting with the Figma API. This server provides a complete set of Figma API methods through the Model Context Protocol. Sometimes on large figma files you might have to tell it to use depth = 1 for figma_get_file then increase when it needs more.
## Tools
This server implements all Figma API methods as MCP tools:
### User Methods
1. `figma_get_me` - Get the current user
### File Methods
2. `figma_get_file` - Get a Figma file by key
3. `figma_get_file_nodes` - Get specific nodes from a Figma file
4. `figma_get_images` - Render images from a Figma file
5. `figma_get_image_fills` - Get image fills in a Figma file
6. `figma_get_file_versions` - Get version history of a Figma file
### Comment Methods
7. `figma_get_comments` - Get comments in a Figma file
8. `figma_post_comment` - Add a comment to a Figma file
9. `figma_delete_comment` - Delete a comment from a Figma file
10. `figma_get_comment_reactions` - Get reactions for a comment
11. `figma_post_comment_reaction` - Add a reaction to a comment
12. `figma_delete_comment_reaction` - Delete a reaction from a comment
### Team and Project Methods

## Setup
To use this MCP server, you need to set up your Figma API token. You can do this in one of three ways:
### 1. Environment Variable
Create a `.env` file in the project root or set the environment variable directly:
```
FIGMA_API_KEY=your_figma_api_key
```
### 2. Command Line Arguments
When starting the server, you can pass your Figma API token as a command-line argument:
```bash
# Using the long form
node dist/index.js --figma-token YOUR_FIGMA_TOKEN
# Or using the short form
node dist/index.js -ft YOUR_FIGMA_TOKEN
```
### Usage with Claude Desktop
Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
#### Using npx
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"figma": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@thirdstrandstudio/mcp-figma", "--figma-token", "your_figma_api_key"]
}
}
}
```
#### Direct Node.js (with environment variable)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"figma": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-figma/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"FIGMA_API_KEY": "your_figma_api_key"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Direct Node.js (with command-line argument)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"figma": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-figma/dist/index.js", "--figma-token", "your_figma_api_key"]
}
}
}
```
Replace `/path/to/mcp-figma` with the actual path to your repository.
## Examples
### Get a Figma File
```javascript
// Get a Figma file
const result = await callTool("figma_get_file", {
fileKey: "abcXYZ123"
});
```
