Figma MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.11
- Disambiguation5/5
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one fetches an image of a Figma node, while the other generates pseudo-code from a Figma frame. There is no overlap or ambiguity in their functions, making it easy for an agent to select the correct tool based on the task.
Naming Consistency4/5The tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (fetch_figma_node_image, generate_pseudo_code_from_figma_frame), but there is a minor deviation in verb tense ('fetches' vs 'generates') and slight length variation. Overall, the naming is predictable and readable, with only small inconsistencies.
Tool Count2/5With only two tools, the server feels thin and under-scoped for a Figma integration. While the tools cover image fetching and code generation, a Figma MCP server would typically benefit from more operations, such as listing files, accessing design properties, or managing comments, making this set incomplete for the domain.
Completeness2/5The tool surface is significantly incomplete for a Figma server. It lacks basic CRUD operations like listing files or nodes, updating designs, or accessing metadata. The two tools provided are useful but do not cover core workflows, leaving obvious gaps that could cause agent failures in common Figma-related tasks.
Average 3.2/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool generates pseudo-code but does not describe output format, quality, limitations, or any side effects (e.g., rate limits, authentication needs). This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's behavior beyond its basic function.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence. The second sentence adds useful context without redundancy, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separating use cases). Overall, it avoids unnecessary details and is efficiently written.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (code generation from design assets) and lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not address what the output looks like (e.g., format, structure), potential errors, or how to interpret the generated pseudo-code, leaving critical gaps for an agent to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters (fileKey and nodeId) adequately. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, such as examples or constraints, resulting in a baseline score of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'generates JSX and CSS pseudo-code for a Figma frame or node' with specific resources (Figma file key and node ID). It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'fetch_figma_node_image' by focusing on code generation rather than image fetching, though the distinction could be more explicit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context ('Useful for converting Figma designs to code') and mentions applicability to 'specific components or frames', but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any prerequisites. No clear exclusions or comparisons with the sibling tool are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('Fetches') and output format ('base64'), but lacks critical details such as authentication requirements, rate limits, error conditions, or whether the operation is idempotent. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and output. Every word serves a purpose—specifying the resource, parameters, and return format—with no redundant or vague phrasing, making it highly concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (2 required parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers the basic purpose and output but lacks depth. It doesn't address authentication, error handling, or usage context, which are important for a tool that interacts with an external API. While adequate for simple use, it falls short of being fully comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters well-documented in the input schema. The description adds minimal value by mentioning the parameters ('file key and node ID') but doesn't provide additional context beyond what the schema already covers, such as format specifics or edge cases. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Fetches a PNG image'), the resource ('of a Figma node or frame'), and the mechanism ('using the file key and node ID'). It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'generate_pseudo_code_from_figma_frame' by focusing on image retrieval rather than code generation, making the purpose unambiguous and well-differentiated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any prerequisites. While it mentions the required parameters, it doesn't explain scenarios where fetching an image is appropriate compared to other Figma operations or the sibling tool, leaving usage context entirely implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
