Exposes Figjam board data (frames, shapes, text, connections, metadata) through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a standardized tool interface. Implements MCP resource and tool handlers that translate Figma API responses into structured JSON payloads consumable by LLM clients, enabling programmatic read-access to board state without direct API authentication from the client.
Unique: Bridges Figjam (visual collaboration tool) with LLM agents via MCP protocol, allowing AI systems to reason about board structure and content without custom API wrappers — implements MCP resource handlers that normalize Figma's hierarchical API into agent-consumable schemas
vs alternatives: Simpler than building custom Figma API integrations because MCP standardizes the tool interface; more accessible than direct Figma API calls because it abstracts authentication and response formatting
Provides a runnable MCP server process via npx that handles MCP protocol initialization, message routing, and stdio-based communication with MCP clients. Implements standard MCP server patterns (request/response handlers, resource discovery, tool registration) and exposes the server as a CLI tool, enabling one-command deployment without manual process management or configuration files.
Unique: Packages Figjam MCP server as a zero-config npx tool rather than requiring npm install + manual startup scripts, reducing friction for one-off integrations and enabling direct invocation from MCP client configurations
vs alternatives: Lower barrier to entry than self-hosted MCP servers because npx handles dependency resolution and process spawning automatically; more portable than Docker-based alternatives for local development
Recursively traverses Figjam board structure (frames, groups, shapes, text nodes) and extracts hierarchical relationships, element properties, and content. Uses Figma API's node tree structure to build a normalized representation of board layout, enabling agents to understand spatial organization, nesting depth, and element relationships without manual parsing of raw API responses.
Unique: Implements recursive tree traversal of Figma's node hierarchy specifically optimized for Figjam's collaborative board structure (frames, sticky notes, shapes) rather than generic Figma design files, preserving spatial and semantic relationships
vs alternatives: More structured than raw Figma API calls because it normalizes hierarchical relationships; more efficient than manual tree-walking because it handles pagination and deeply nested structures automatically
Transforms raw Figjam board state into concise, LLM-friendly summaries that preserve essential information (text content, structure, key elements) while reducing token overhead. Implements content filtering and formatting logic that extracts meaningful board context (sticky notes, text frames, connections) and presents it in a format optimized for LLM reasoning without overwhelming context windows.
Unique: Specifically optimizes Figjam board content for LLM consumption by filtering non-essential visual properties and emphasizing collaborative content (sticky notes, text, connections) that carry semantic meaning in a board context
vs alternatives: More efficient than passing raw board JSON to LLMs because it reduces token count by 60-80% while preserving actionable content; more context-aware than generic summarization because it understands Figjam's collaborative semantics
Provides query capabilities to filter and retrieve specific elements from a Figjam board based on criteria (element type, text content, properties, spatial location). Implements filtering logic that works against the extracted board hierarchy, enabling agents to locate relevant elements without full tree traversal and reducing downstream processing overhead.
Unique: Implements lightweight in-memory filtering on Figjam board state, allowing agents to locate elements without re-querying the Figma API or traversing the full hierarchy, reducing latency for repeated queries
vs alternatives: Faster than re-fetching from Figma API for each query because it operates on cached board state; more flexible than raw API queries because it supports multiple filter dimensions simultaneously
Generates code suggestions as developers type by leveraging OpenAI Codex, a large language model trained on public code repositories. The system integrates directly into editor processes (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim) via language server protocol extensions, streaming partial completions to the editor buffer with latency-optimized inference. Suggestions are ranked by relevance scoring and filtered based on cursor context, file syntax, and surrounding code patterns.
Unique: Integrates Codex inference directly into editor processes via LSP extensions with streaming partial completions, rather than polling or batch processing. Ranks suggestions using relevance scoring based on file syntax, surrounding context, and cursor position—not just raw model output.
vs alternatives: Faster suggestion latency than Tabnine or IntelliCode for common patterns because Codex was trained on 54M public GitHub repositories, providing broader coverage than alternatives trained on smaller corpora.
Generates complete functions, classes, and multi-file code structures by analyzing docstrings, type hints, and surrounding code context. The system uses Codex to synthesize implementations that match inferred intent from comments and signatures, with support for generating test cases, boilerplate, and entire modules. Context is gathered from the active file, open tabs, and recent edits to maintain consistency with existing code style and patterns.
Unique: Synthesizes multi-file code structures by analyzing docstrings, type hints, and surrounding context to infer developer intent, then generates implementations that match inferred patterns—not just single-line completions. Uses open editor tabs and recent edits to maintain style consistency across generated code.
vs alternatives: Generates more semantically coherent multi-file structures than Tabnine because Codex was trained on complete GitHub repositories with full context, enabling cross-file pattern matching and dependency inference.
GitHub Copilot scores higher at 27/100 vs @daanvanhulsen/figjam-mcp-server at 24/100. @daanvanhulsen/figjam-mcp-server leads on ecosystem, while GitHub Copilot is stronger on quality.

Analyzes pull requests and diffs to identify code quality issues, potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, and style inconsistencies. The system reviews changed code against project patterns and best practices, providing inline comments and suggestions for improvement. Analysis includes performance implications, maintainability concerns, and architectural alignment with existing codebase.
Unique: Analyzes pull request diffs against project patterns and best practices, providing inline suggestions with architectural and performance implications—not just style checking or syntax validation.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than traditional linters because it understands semantic patterns and architectural concerns, enabling suggestions for design improvements and maintainability enhancements.
Generates comprehensive documentation from source code by analyzing function signatures, docstrings, type hints, and code structure. The system produces documentation in multiple formats (Markdown, HTML, Javadoc, Sphinx) and can generate API documentation, README files, and architecture guides. Documentation is contextualized by language conventions and project structure, with support for customizable templates and styles.
Unique: Generates comprehensive documentation in multiple formats by analyzing code structure, docstrings, and type hints, producing contextualized documentation for different audiences—not just extracting comments.
vs alternatives: More flexible than static documentation generators because it understands code semantics and can generate narrative documentation alongside API references, enabling comprehensive documentation from code alone.
Analyzes selected code blocks and generates natural language explanations, docstrings, and inline comments using Codex. The system reverse-engineers intent from code structure, variable names, and control flow, then produces human-readable descriptions in multiple formats (docstrings, markdown, inline comments).
