Talk to Figma MCP
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP_CHANNEL | No | The channel name for routing messages between the MCP server and the Figma plugin. Each project should use a unique channel. |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

| set_text_contentB | Set the text content of an existing text node in Figma |
| rename_nodeB | Rename a node in Figma |
| bind_variable_to_fillA | Bind a Figma variable to a node's fill color |
| bind_variable_to_strokeB | Bind a Figma variable to a node's stroke color |
| set_image_fillA | Set an image fill on a node from a URL |
| set_effectsB | Set visual effects (shadow, blur) on a node |
| set_fontB | Set font family, style, and size on a text node |
| create_pageC | Create a new page in the Figma document |
| switch_pageB | Switch to a different page in the Figma document |
| get_pagesA | Get all pages in the current Figma document |
| set_gradient_fillB | Set a gradient fill on a node |
| get_stylesB | Get all styles from the current Figma document |
| get_local_componentsA | Get all local components from the Figma document |
| get_annotationsC | Get all annotations in the current document or specific node |
| set_annotationC | Create or update an annotation |
| set_multiple_annotationsC | Set multiple annotations parallelly in a node |
| create_component_instanceC | Create an instance of a component in Figma |
| get_instance_overridesA | Get all override properties from a selected component instance. These overrides can be applied to other instances, which will swap them to match the source component. |
| set_instance_overridesA | Apply previously copied overrides to selected component instances. Target instances will be swapped to the source component and all copied override properties will be applied. |
| set_corner_radiusB | Set the corner radius of a node in Figma |

| set_layout_modeB | Set the layout mode and wrap behavior of a frame in Figma |
| set_paddingA | Set padding values for an auto-layout frame in Figma |

| get_reactionsA | Get Figma Prototyping Reactions from multiple nodes. CRITICAL: The output MUST be processed using the 'reaction_to_connector_strategy' prompt IMMEDIATELY to generate parameters for connector lines via the 'create_connections' tool. |
| set_default_connectorB | Set a copied connector node as the default connector |
| create_connectionsC | Create connections between nodes using the default connector style |
| set_focusB | Set focus on a specific node in Figma by selecting it and scrolling viewport to it |
| set_selectionsA | Set selection to multiple nodes in Figma and scroll viewport to show them |

| import_component_set_by_keyB | Import a component set (with variants) from a library by its key |
| import_style_by_keyA | Import a style (color, text, effect, grid) from a library by its key |
| scan_instance_keysA | Scan all instances under a node and return their mainComponent keys (deduplicated). Use to discover published library component keys. |
| get_instance_infoA | Get the mainComponent key and info from an instance node |
| set_instance_propertiesA | Set component properties on an instance (e.g. switch Platform from Desktop to Mobile) |
| detach_instanceA | Detach a library instance into an editable frame. After detaching, all sublayer text becomes modifiable. |
| walk_and_replace_textA | Walk entire node subtree and replace text by exact match. Works on library instance sublayers that getNodeByIdAsync cannot access. |
| walk_and_scan_textB | Walk entire node subtree and collect all text nodes. Works on library instance sublayers. |
| set_reactionsB | Set prototype interactions (reactions) on a Figma node. Allows creating click-to-navigate, hover, and other prototype interactions. |
| create_component_from_nodeA | Convert an existing Figma frame/node into a reusable Component. The node cannot already be a component or be inside a component. |
| create_variablesA | Create a Figma variable collection with variables. Supports COLOR, FLOAT, STRING, and BOOLEAN types with multiple modes (e.g., light/dark theme). |
