Connect Claude to Figma with zero friction. No paid plan. No channel ID copy-paste. Just works.
✨ Why this exists
| Figma Official MCP | ClaudeTalkToFigma | figma-free-mcp | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | ❌ Paid only | ✅ | ✅ |
| Auto-connect | ✅ | ❌ Manual channel ID | ✅ Auto-detect |
| Tools | Many | 70+ | 100+ |
| One-line install | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
🚀 Quick Start (4 steps)
Step 1 — Install MCP + download plugin
npx figma-free-mcp@latest setup
This will:
- ✅ Register MCP in Claude Desktop automatically
- ✅ Download the Figma plugin to
~/.figma-free-mcp/plugin/ - ✅ Show you the exact manifest path
Step 2 — Install the Figma plugin (one-time)
Open Figma Desktop
Menu → Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest...
Select the path shown in Step 1:
C:\Users\[YourName]\.figma-free-mcp\plugin\manifest.json
This will:
- ✅ Register the Figma plugin in your Figma Desktop
Step 3 — Start the relay server
figma-free-mcp socket
This will:
- ✅ Start the WebSocket relay server between Claude and Figma
- ✅ Keep the connection alive while you work
⚠️ Must run this BEFORE opening the Figma plugin. Keep this terminal open while using Claude with Figma.
Step 4 — Open the Figma plugin
- Open your Figma file
- Menu → Plugins → Figma Free MCP
This will:
- ✅ Auto-connect to the relay server
- ✅ No channel ID needed
💬 Usage
Once everything is running, just talk to Claude naturally:
"Figma에 버튼 컴포넌트 만들어줘"
"중복 페이지 찾아서 정리해줘"
"globals.css 색상 토큰을 Figma 변수로 싱크해줘"
"이 React 컴포넌트를 Figma 프레임으로 변환해줘"
Claude automatically detects your open Figma file — no channel ID needed!
🗂️ Working with Multiple Files (Concurrent Editing)
Edit several Figma files in one session — still no channel IDs, just file names.
Setup: open each file and run the plugin in it (one plugin instance per file — a Figma limitation: a plugin can only touch the file it runs in).
"어떤 Figma 파일들이 열려 있어?" → list_active_channels (shows file & page names)
"미들마일 주문 파일에 버튼 만들어줘" → connect_to_file then edit, or run_on_file
"미들마일엔 헤더, 정산관리엔 합계 텍스트 넣어줘" → runs on both files concurrently
| Tool | When to use |
|---|---|
connect_to_file("name") |
Focus one file — following commands all go there |
run_on_file("name", cmd, params) |
Send one command to a specific file without switching — repeat across files to edit them concurrently |
⚠️ Each file you want to edit must have its own running plugin instance. A file that's only open in the background (no plugin) cannot be edited.

❓ FAQ
Q. Do I need a paid Figma plan? A. No. Works with free Figma accounts.
Q. Do I need Claude Pro? A. Any Claude Desktop plan works.
Q. The plugin shows "Disconnected"
A. Make sure the relay server is running: figma-free-mcp socket
Q. Multiple Figma files are open
A. list_active_channels shows each session with its file & page name. Use connect_to_file("name") to focus one, or run_on_file("name", ...) to edit several files concurrently — no channel IDs needed. Each file must have its own running plugin instance.
Q. Port 3055 is already in use
A. Kill the existing process: netstat -ano | findstr :3055 then taskkill /PID [number] /F
