Exposes 40+ design manipulation tools to Cursor AI and Claude Code through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, implementing a schema-validated request-response pipeline with Zod validation. The MCP server (src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts) acts as the interface layer, translating natural language agent intents into structured tool calls that are routed via WebSocket to the Figma plugin for execution. This enables AI agents to treat Figma operations as native capabilities without custom API wrappers.
Unique: Uses MCP standard protocol with Zod schema validation for tool definitions, enabling AI agents to discover and invoke Figma operations with type safety and structured error handling. Unlike direct Figma API clients, this abstracts the plugin communication layer entirely, allowing agents to work with Figma as a native capability.
vs alternatives: Provides MCP-native tool exposure vs. Figma REST API which requires custom agent integration code; agents can invoke tools with full schema introspection and validation built-in.
Implements a channel-based WebSocket bridge (src/socket.ts) that manages real-time communication between the MCP server and Figma plugin using UUID-based request tracking and channel-based routing. Each client joins a named channel before exchanging messages, enabling multiple concurrent sessions with proper request-response matching. The system provides progress updates for long-running operations and comprehensive error handling with detailed validation reporting.
Unique: Uses channel-based routing with UUID request tracking to multiplex multiple concurrent sessions over a single WebSocket connection, enabling proper request-response matching without connection pooling. This pattern is more efficient than per-session connections while maintaining isolation.
vs alternatives: More efficient than REST polling for real-time updates and supports concurrent sessions better than simple request-response patterns; channel isolation prevents cross-session interference.
Implements comprehensive error handling and input validation using Zod schemas for all tool parameters and responses. The system validates requests before execution, provides detailed error messages with validation context, and ensures type safety across the MCP-plugin communication boundary. Validation failures are reported with specific field errors and suggestions.
Unique: Uses Zod schema validation for all tool parameters and responses, providing type-safe communication between MCP server and plugin with detailed validation error reporting. This ensures that invalid requests are caught before execution.
vs alternatives: Provides strict type validation vs. lenient parsing; catches errors early with detailed context, reducing debugging time and preventing invalid state in Figma designs.
Leverages Bun runtime for fast JavaScript execution with native TypeScript support, enabling rapid development and deployment without transpilation overhead. The MCP server is built on Bun, providing performance benefits for WebSocket communication and tool execution. TypeScript is used throughout for type safety without requiring separate build steps.
Unique: Uses Bun runtime for native TypeScript execution without transpilation, providing performance benefits and simplified development workflow. This is a deliberate architectural choice to optimize for speed and developer experience.
vs alternatives: Faster startup and execution than Node.js with TypeScript; eliminates build step overhead and provides native type checking at runtime.
Provides batch operation tools (set_multiple_text_contents, set_multiple_annotations) that efficiently update multiple text nodes and annotations in a single operation, reducing round-trip latency and improving performance for large-scale content modifications. The implementation uses Figma's batch API capabilities to apply changes atomically, ensuring consistency across multiple design elements.
Unique: Implements batch operations that leverage Figma's native batch API capabilities, reducing round-trip latency from O(n) individual calls to O(1) batch calls. Uses atomic semantics to ensure consistency across multiple elements.
vs alternatives: Dramatically faster than sequential individual updates; reduces network overhead and Figma plugin event loop pressure compared to looping through individual set_text_content calls.
Enables transfer of design overrides between component instances using get_instance_overrides and set_instance_overrides tools, allowing AI agents to read override states from one instance and apply them to others. This capability supports design system workflows where component variations need to be synchronized or propagated across multiple instances without manual duplication.
Unique: Provides structured access to Figma's internal override state through get_instance_overrides and set_instance_overrides, enabling programmatic variant management without manual UI interaction. This abstracts Figma's complex override serialization format.
vs alternatives: Enables programmatic variant management vs. manual copy-paste in Figma UI; allows AI agents to understand and manipulate component variations as structured data.
Converts Figma prototype flows to visual connector lines using get_reactions and create_connections tools, enabling AI agents to read prototype interaction definitions and programmatically create visual representations of flow logic. The system reads Figma's reaction objects (which define prototype interactions) and translates them into visual connectors that show the flow relationships.
Unique: Bridges Figma's internal reaction system with visual representation, allowing AI agents to both read prototype logic and create visual connectors that represent flows. This enables automated documentation and flow analysis without manual diagram creation.
vs alternatives: Extracts prototype logic programmatically vs. manual screenshot documentation; enables flow analysis and visualization generation that would otherwise require manual effort.
Provides tools for programmatic management of auto-layout properties, spacing, and positioning within Figma frames. The system allows AI agents to read current layout configurations (direction, spacing, padding) and modify them atomically, enabling design automation workflows that adjust layouts based on content or design requirements without manual frame configuration.
Unique: Exposes Figma's auto-layout engine as programmable tools, allowing AI agents to modify layout properties and trigger recalculations without UI interaction. This enables responsive design automation that adapts layouts based on content or design rules.
vs alternatives: Enables programmatic layout automation vs. manual frame configuration in Figma UI; allows AI agents to generate responsive layouts based on content or design constraints.
