Figma Comments MCP

A small local MCP server that adds Figma comment tools to an MCP client. It uses the official Figma REST API and works alongside Figma's design MCP server.

Tools

Tool

Figma permission

Action

get_comments

file_comments:read

Read all comments and replies in a file, including authors, timestamps, resolution state and pin metadata. Accepts a file key or file URL.

post_comment

file_comments:write

Create a file comment, reply to a root comment, or attach a comment to a frame with client_meta.

The server does not alter designs or delete comments. Figma file permissions still apply.

Setup

  1. Install Node.js 20 or later and run npm ci in this repository.

  2. In Figma, open Settings > Security > Personal access tokens and create a token with file_comments:read. Add file_comments:write if you want to post comments. Give it an expiration date. Figma token instructions

  3. Supply the token to the server through FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN or FIGMA_TOKEN_FILE. The latter points to a local UTF-8 file containing only the token. Keep that file outside this repository and restrict access to your account.

  4. Register the server in your MCP client. For Codex CLI, from this repository run:

    codex mcp add figma-comments -- node (Resolve-Path ./src/index.js).Path

    If your shell does not pass the path as expected, use the absolute path to src/index.js. Start Codex with the token variable available to its process. The existing official Figma MCP registration can stay enabled.

Do not put the token in an MCP config, command argument, .env committed to Git, or a public issue. Authentication for Figma's official MCP server is separate from REST API authentication and cannot be reused here.

Examples

Ask your MCP client:

Get the comments from https://www.figma.com/design/FILE_KEY/Example?node-id=0-1 and group replies with their parent comments.

Reply to root comment COMMENT_ID in FILE_KEY with this text: ...

The API returns comments for the whole file. The node-id in a pasted URL does not filter the results; use the returned client_meta to identify comments pinned to a frame. post_comment accepts client_meta in this form when you want a frame pin:

{
  "node_id": "1:2",
  "node_offset": { "x": 20, "y": 20 }
}

Development

Run npm test. Tests use mock Figma responses and a real MCP stdio handshake. No Figma token is needed.

This project is an independent community tool and is not affiliated with Figma.

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
