grab/cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp

Install Bun: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
Run `bun setup` (installs MCP in your Cursor active project)
Start the WebSocket server: `bun socket`
Install the Figma plugin from the Figma community page or link src/cursor_mcp_plugin/manifest.json locally

Usage

• •Alternative MCP config: {"mcpServers": {"TalkToFigma": {"command": "bunx", "args": ["cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp@latest"]}}} in ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• •Start the WebSocket server, install the MCP server in Cursor, open the Figma plugin, join a channel with join_channel, then use Cursor to communicate with Figma
• •Windows + WSL: install bun via PowerShell, uncomment hostname "0.0.0.0" in src/socket.ts, then start the websocket
• •Best practice: join a channel before sending commands, get document overview with get_document_info first, verify changes with get_node_info

Key features

• ✓~50 MCP tools covering document/selection reads (get_document_info, get_selection, read_my_design, get_node_info), creating elements (create_rectangle, create_frame, create_text), text replacement (scan_text_nodes, set_text_content, batch updates), auto-layout/styling, and node layout operations
• ✓Annotations: get/set annotations with markdown support and batch creation; converting legacy annotations to native Figma annotations
• ✓Prototyping: get_reactions, create_connections (FigJam connectors), set_default_connector
• ✓Components: get_styles, get_local_components, create_component_instance, get/set_instance_overrides (override propagation across instances)
• ✓Export node as image (PNG/JPG/SVG/PDF) and 6 helper MCP prompts (design_strategy, text_replacement_strategy, swap_overrides_instances, etc.)

Best for

Automating Figma design edits (bulk text replacement, instance override propagation, annotation conversion, prototype→connector mapping) from Cursor or Claude Code.

Caveats

• ⚠Requires Bun runtime, a running WebSocket server, and the Figma plugin installed/started in Figma
• ⚠export_node_as_image has limited support (image currently returned as base64 text)
• ⚠All commands can throw exceptions; set_default_connector must be set before creating connections
