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.

before you install - you'll need
The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.
Claude Code

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
