## šŸŽÆ Overview

**Figma MCP Complete** solves the biggest problem in design-to-code workflows:

### The Problem āŒ
```
Figma MCP (existing):
  → Returns only JSON metadata
  → Claude guesses colors, fonts, spacing
  → Needs manual fixes
  → 30 minutes per component ā±ļø

Result: Frustration, mistakes, wasted time 😫
```

### The Solution āœ…
```
Figma MCP Better (this project):
  → Returns Screenshot + CSS + HTML + JSON
  → Claude knows exactly what to build
  → Ready-to-use code
  → 30 seconds per component ⚔

Result: Perfect accuracy, zero iterations šŸŽ‰
```

# Extract to your desired location
cd figma-mcp-complete
```

### Step 2: Install Dependencies

```bash
# Install Node packages
npm install --save-dev playwright

# Install Python packages
pip install opencv-python numpy pillow

# Optional: For Percy.io validation
npm install --save-dev @percy/cli
```

### Step 3: Setup Environment

Create `.env` file:

```bash
cat > .env << 'EOF'
FIGMA_TOKEN=figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
SIMULATOR_PORT=3000
PERCY_TOKEN=percy_xxxxxxxxxxxxx  # Optional
EOF
```

Get your **Figma Token**: https://www.figma.com/developers/api#access-tokens

### Step 4: Verify Installation

```bash

node figma-mcp-comparison.js

# Output should show comparison of old vs new MCP āœ…
```

---

## ⚔ Quick Start

### Export Figma Design to HTML/CSS

```bash
# Set your Figma token
export FIGMA_TOKEN="figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Export frame from Figma
node figma-mcp-better.js FILE_ID NODE_ID "Component Name"

# Results saved to:
# figma-export/
# ā”œā”€ā”€ index.html       ← Copy-paste this!
# ā”œā”€ā”€ style.css        ← Or this!
# ā”œā”€ā”€ data.json        ← Or everything here
# └── tokens.json      ← Design system
```

### Get Figma IDs

1. Open your Figma file: `https://www.figma.com/file/YOUR_FILE_ID/...`
2. Copy the `FILE_ID` from URL
3. Right-click on a frame → Copy link → Extract `NODE_ID`

Example:
```
URL: https://www.figma.com/file/abc123def456/MyDesign?node-id=789:123
FILE_ID: abc123def456
NODE_ID: 789:123
```

### Validate Design Accuracy

```bash
# Start your simulator/app
npm run start:simulator &

# Capture simulator screenshots
npm run capture:simulator

# Compare with Figma
npm run pixel-perfect

# Results:
# āœ… Similarity: 99.8%
# āœ… All colors match
# āœ… Typography verified
# āœ… Pixel Perfect!
```

---

## šŸ“š Usage

### Basic Workflow

```bash
# 1. Export from Figma
export FIGMA_TOKEN="..."
node figma-mcp-better.js FILE NODE "Button"

# 2. Get HTML/CSS
cat figma-export/index.html
# <button style="background-color: #FF5722; ...">

# 3. Copy to your project
# Done! ✨
```

### Advanced: Export Multiple Frames

```javascript
// export-all.js
const BetterFigmaMCP = require('./figma-mcp-better');

const mcp = new BetterFigmaMCP(process.env.FIGMA_TOKEN);

const frames = [
  { id: '123:45', name: 'Login Button' },
  { id: '123:46', name: 'Signup Form' },
  { id: '123:47', name: 'Dashboard Header' }
];

(async () => {
  for (const frame of frames) {
    const result = await mcp.exportFrame(FILE_ID, frame.id, frame.name);
    await mcp.saveExport(result, `./exports/${frame.name}`);
    console.log(`āœ… Exported: ${frame.name}`);
  }
})();
```

Run:
```bash
node export-all.js
```

### Integration with Claude AI

```javascript
// Use with Claude API
const BetterFigmaMCP = require('./figma-mcp-better');

const figmaData = await mcp.exportFrame(fileId, nodeId);

// Claude now gets:
// - figmaData.screenshot     → Visual reference
// - figmaData.css            → Styling
// - figmaData.html           → Code
// - figmaData.designTokens   → System

// Result: Claude writes perfect code! šŸŽÆ
```

## āœ… Pixel Perfect Validation

### How It Works

```
1. Export Figma screenshot → figma-baseline/
2. Capture simulator screenshot → simulator-screenshots/
3. Compare pixel-by-pixel → reports/
4. Generate heatmap of differences
```

### Run Validation

```bash
# Capture simulator
npm run capture:simulator

# Compare with Figma
npm run pixel-check

# Or full validation
npm run pixel-perfect
```

### Thresholds

| Similarity | Status | Action |
|------------|--------|--------|
| 99%+ | āœ… PASS | Merge! |
| 95-99% | āš ļø REVIEW | Check heatmap |
| <95% | āŒ FAIL | Fix design |

### View Heatmap

Differences appear in `reports/heatmap_*.png`:
- šŸ”“ Red = Large differences
- 🟔 Yellow = Small differences
- šŸ”µ Blue/Green = Identical

---

## šŸš€ GitHub Actions CI/CD

### Automatic Validation on Push

The project includes GitHub Actions workflow that:

1. āœ… Validates on every push
2. āœ… Checks pixel-perfect accuracy
3. āœ… Blocks merge if validation fails
4. āœ… Comments on PRs with results

### Setup GitHub Actions

```bash
# Copy workflow file
.github/workflows/pixel-perfect.yml

# Commit to GitHub
git add .github/
git commit -m "Add pixel perfect CI/CD"
git push

# Set branch protection
GitHub → Settings → Branches
→ Require status checks to pass
→ Select "Pixel Perfect Validation"
```

### Require Pixel Perfect

Now you **cannot merge** without passing validation! šŸ”’

```
PR created
  ↓
GitHub Actions runs
  ↓
Pixel Perfect test passes?
  ↓
āŒ No → PR blocked 🚫
  ↓
āœ… Yes → Can merge āœ…
```

## šŸ› Troubleshooting

### Installation Issues

#### "npm: command not found"
```bash
# Install Node.js
https://nodejs.org/

# Verify:
node --version
npm --version
```

#### "python3: command not found"
```bash
# Install Python
https://python.org/downloads

# Verify:
python3 --version
```

#### "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'"
```bash
# Reinstall Python packages
pip install --upgrade opencv-python numpy pillow
```

### Runtime Issues

#### "FIGMA_TOKEN not set"
```bash
# Set token
export FIGMA_TOKEN="figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Or create .env file
echo "FIGMA_TOKEN=figd_xxxxxxxxxxxxx" > .env
```

#### "Node FILE_ID NODE_ID not found"
```bash
# Get correct IDs from Figma URL
# https://www.figma.com/file/YOUR_FILE_ID/...?node-id=YOUR_NODE_ID

# Verify they're correct
echo $FIGMA_TOKEN
```

#### "Screenshots don't match"
```bash
# Check DPI consistency
# Ensure both screenshots are 2x scale (Retina)

# Manually verify
open figma-export/index.html
open reports/heatmap_*.png
```

### Performance

#### Slow export?
```bash
# Reduce resolution
node figma-mcp-better.js FILE NODE --scale=1
```

#### Memory issues?
```bash
# Process one frame at a time
# Or increase Node memory
node --max-old-space-size=4096 figma-mcp-better.js
```
