Install and Run

Option 1: Run via npx (recommended, no install)

npx figma-mcp-full-server figd_your_figma_token_here

Option 2: Global install

# Install globally
npm install -g figma-mcp-full-server

# Run
figma-mcp-full-server figd_your_figma_token_here

Option 3: Local project install

# Install in your project
npm install figma-mcp-full-server

# Run
npx figma-mcp-full-server figd_your_figma_token_here
# or
node_modules/.bin/figma-mcp-full-server figd_your_figma_token_here

Option 4: Run from source (for development)

git clone <repository>
cd figma-mcp
npm install
npm run build

# Run
npm start figd_your_figma_token_here
# or
node build/index.js figd_your_figma_token_here

Quick Start

1. Get a Figma access token

1. Log in to Figma
2. Open Settings
3. Find the "Personal access tokens" section
4. Click "Create new token"
5. Copy the token (starts with figd_)

2. Configure in Claude Desktop

Edit the Claude config file (pick your OS):

macOS/Linux: ~/.config/claude-desktop/config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude Desktop\config.json

Choose one of the following setups:

Setup A: Run via npx (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-mcp-full-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["figma-mcp-full-server"],
      "env": {
        "FIGMA_TOKEN": "figd_your_figma_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Setup B: Global install

npm install -g figma-mcp-full-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-mcp-full-server": {
      "command": "figma-mcp-full-server",
      "env": {
        "FIGMA_TOKEN": "figd_your_figma_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Setup C: Use from a project

npm install figma-mcp-full-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-mcp-full-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["figma-mcp-full-server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/project",
      "env": {
        "FIGMA_TOKEN": "figd_your_figma_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Setup D: Run from source

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/figma-mcp/build/index.js"
      ],
      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/figma-mcp",
      "env": {
        "FIGMA_TOKEN": "figd_your_figma_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Notes:

• Recommended: Setup A (npx) — no install, always latest
• Global install: good if you use it often
• Project install: pin a version per project
• From source: for development and customization
• Replace figd_your_figma_token_here with your real Figma token

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop to apply the config.

Usage

Once configured, use it directly in Claude:

Get Figma images

Please fetch images from this Figma URL:
https://www.figma.com/design/EXAMPLE_FILE_ID/Design-Name?node-id=123-456&t=abc123-0

Get style data and generate CSS

Please get style data from this design and generate CSS:
https://www.figma.com/design/EXAMPLE_FILE_ID/Design-Name?node-id=123-456&t=abc123-0

Get file info

Please show the basic info for this Figma file:
https://www.figma.com/design/EXAMPLE_FILE_ID/Design-Name

Get design elements 🆕

Please analyze what design elements this Figma node contains:
https://www.figma.com/design/EXAMPLE_FILE_ID/Design-Name?node-id=123-456&t=abc123-0

Get image assets 🆕

Please extract all image assets under this Figma node:
https://www.figma.com/design/EXAMPLE_FILE_ID/Design-Name?node-id=123-456&t=abc123-0

Available Tools

This MCP server provides 7 tools:

Basics

1. get_figma_image — Get node image by Figma URL
2. get_figma_styles — Get node style data; optional CSS output
3. export_multiple_images — Batch export multiple nodes
4. get_file_info — Get basic file info

Design element tools 🆕

5. get_node_images — Get all image assets under a node
6. get_node_svg — Get SVG data for a node
7. extract_node_elements — Extract all design elements (images, vectors, components)

Troubleshooting

Common issues

1. "Cannot find module"

• Cause: Using a .ts entry instead of the built .js
• Fix: Use /path/to/build/index.js instead of index.ts

2. "Access denied"

• Cause: Invalid Figma token or insufficient file permission
• Fix: Verify token, ensure file is public or accessible

3. MCP server won’t start

• Cause: Wrong paths or Node.js version too low
• Fix:
  • Use absolute paths
  • Ensure Node.js ≥ 18
  • Rebuild: npm run build

4. "No exportable images found"

• Cause: URL missing node-id parameter
• Fix: Ensure URL includes ?node-id=xxxxx-xxxxx

Manual test

cd /path/to/figma-mcp
node build/index.js figd_your_token_here

You should see: Figma MCP server started

Security Best Practices

1. Token safety: Use env vars for the Figma token; never hardcode
2. Access control: Rotate tokens regularly
3. Least privilege: Grant the minimum required file access
