Project Summary

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges Figma design data with AI coding agents like Cursor. It enables AI to directly interpret Figma layouts and styles, facilitating more accurate one-shot UI implementation from design specifications, benefiting developers aiming for rapid, faithful design-to-code translation.

How It Works

The server acts as an intermediary, fetching metadata from the Figma API. It then simplifies and translates this raw data, extracting only the most relevant layout and styling information. This curated context is then provided to AI coding agents, improving their accuracy and the relevance of generated code by reducing extraneous data.

Quick Start & Requirements

  • Install/Run: Configure your IDE's MCP client with the provided JSON snippet, replacing YOUR-KEY with a Figma API access token.
  • Prerequisites: Figma API access token.
  • Configuration: Add to IDE's MCP configuration file (example provided for macOS/Linux and Windows).
  • Documentation: Framelink docs

Highlighted Details

  • Enables AI coding agents (e.g., Cursor) to directly access and interpret Figma design data.
  • Simplifies Figma API responses to provide only essential layout and styling information to AI models.
  • Aims to improve AI accuracy and relevance in one-shot UI implementation from Figma designs.

Maintenance & Community

The project is sponsored by Framelink (Gold Sponsor) and other backers. Further information can be found on the Framelink site.

Licensing & Compatibility

The README does not explicitly state the license type. Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking is not specified.

Limitations & Caveats

Requires a Figma API access token. The project is specifically designed for use with Cursor, and its compatibility with other AI coding agents is not detailed.
