Figma MCP Rust

Figma MCP: Free, No Rate Limits Open-source Figma MCP server with full read/write access via plugin. No REST API, no rate limits. Turn text into designs and designs into real code. Works with Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and any MCP-compatible AI tool. Its 40 documented tools cover nodes, style, text, node. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting design tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Figma MCP Rust

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add alvinindra-figma-mcp-rust -- npx -y @alvinindra/figma-mcp-rust

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alvinindra-figma-mcp-rust": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@alvinindra/figma-mcp-rust"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

03 · What Figma MCP Rust can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can create a frame with optional auto-layout, fill, and parent, create a rectangle with optional fill and corner radius, create an ellipse or circle, and create a text node (font loaded automatically).

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Figma MCP Rust lets an agent do.

update

10 tools - e.g. Set solid fill color (hex) on a node; Set solid stroke color and weight on a node; Set opacity of one or more nodes (0 = transparent, 1 = opaque)

set_fills · set_strokes · set_opacity · set_corner_radius · set_auto_layout · set_visible…

Nodes

9 tools - e.g. Lock one or more nodes to prevent accidental edits; Unlock one or more nodes; Set absolute rotation in degrees on one or more nodes

lock_nodes · unlock_nodes · rotate_nodes · reorder_nodes · move_nodes · resize_nodes…

create & write

7 tools - e.g. Create a frame with optional auto-layout, fill, and parent; Create a rectangle with optional fill and corner radius; Create an ellipse or circle

create_frame · create_rectangle · create_ellipse · create_component · create_section · create_effect_style…

Text

4 tools - e.g. Create a text node (font loaded automatically); Update text content of an existing TEXT node; Find and replace text across all TEXT nodes in a subtree or page; supports regex

create_text · set_text · find_replace_text · create_text_style

Reactions

2 tools - e.g. Set prototype reactions (triggers + actions) on a node; mode replace or append; Remove all or specific reactions by zero-based index from a node

set_reactions · remove_reactions

Paint

2 tools - e.g. Create a named paint style with a solid color; Rename or recolor an existing paint style

create_paint_style · update_paint_style

Variable

2 tools - e.g. Create a new local variable collection with an optional initial mode; Add a new mode to an existing collection (e.g. Light/Dark)
