How do I connect to Framelink MCP for Figma?

Framelink MCP for Figma is available via the package npm:figma-developer-mcp, the official MCP Registry under io.github.GLips/Figma-Context-MCP, the source repository at https://github.com/GLips/Figma-Context-MCP. Authentication: none. Transports: stdio.

When were Framelink MCP for Figma's facts last verified?

2026-08-14. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.

Framelink MCP for Figma (repository name Figma-Context-MCP, npm package figma-developer-mcp) gives coding agents access to Figma design data. It calls Figma's REST API with a user-supplied personal access token, then, per its README, "simplifies and translates the response so only the most relevant layout and styling information is provided to the model", aimed at one-shot design implementation in tools like Cursor.

It runs locally over stdio via npx -y figma-developer-mcp --figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY --stdio. The MCP server itself carries no authentication; the Figma token is an upstream credential for Figma's API. A self-hosted HTTP mode exists behind a PORT setting, serving /mcp with /sse kept for backward compatibility.

This is a community server, and the distinction matters because Figma has its own official MCP work: the publisher is independent developer Graham Lipsman (GitHub GLips), and his Framelink product site itself draws the line, comparing "Framelink vs. Figma's Official MCP" as two separate products. Nothing in the repository, npm metadata, or site claims Figma affiliation.

No surface names a supported MCP specification revision; the pinned @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.29.0 dependency is not evidence of revision support. spec_status is therefore unknown.

How widely adopted is Framelink MCP for Figma?

Ranked #12 in The MCP 500 with Adoption Index 84.85 (snapshot , methodology v1).
