02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repository a fork of another project - check the upstream repo before trusting releases

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @tunglt1810/figma-mcp-go - published under the repo owner's npm scope (@tunglt1810)

registry namespace io.github.tunglt1810 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Figma MCP Go 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 find nodes by name and/or type on a page, in a node, or in the whole file, view center, zoom, and visible area, export nodes as images: saved to a file with outputPath, or returned (PNG/JPG as image, SVG as text). No items = the selection, and save frames as one multi-page PDF.

Capability map

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

read & search

11 tools - e.g. Node tree of the selection, page, or whole file. Stops at 500 nodes by default; depth, maxNodes, detail, dedupe_components control size; Selected nodes, or pinned ones with source: "pinned"; File name…

get_document · get_selection · get_metadata · get_viewport · get_styles · get_variable_defs…

Export

4 tools - e.g. Export nodes as images: saved to a file with outputPath, or returned (PNG/JPG as image, SVG as text). No items = the selection; Save frames as one multi-page PDF; Variables and paint styles as JSON or CSS

export_screenshots · export_frames_to_pdf · export_tokens · set_export_settings

Text

4 tools - e.g. Text node (loads the font); Text content and whole-node text settings; Style part of a text: bold, color, link, list

create_text · set_text · set_text_ranges · find_replace_text

update

4 tools - e.g. Solid or gradient fill, or solid stroke; Auto layout: direction, padding, gap, align, HUG/FILL sizing, min/max; Column, row, or square grids

set_paint · set_auto_layout · set_layout_grids · set_effects

Nodes

3 tools - e.g. Full details of nodes by ID. Unknown IDs go in missing; depth and maxNodes limit children; Find nodes by name and/or type on a page, in a node, or in the whole file; Merge nodes into one vector

get_nodes_info · search_nodes · flatten_nodes

Instance

3 tools - e.g. An instance's component properties and values; Instance of a local or library component; Set an instance's component properties

get_instance_overrides · create_component_instance · set_instance_overrides

Component

3 tools - e.g. Turn a frame into a component; Add, edit, delete, or bind component properties; Swap an instance to another component

create_component · manage_component_properties · swap_component

Node

2 tools - e.g. FRAME, RECTANGLE, ELLIPSE, STAR, POLYGON, LINE, or SECTION; Position, size, radius, visibility, lock, opacity, rotation, blend, constraints, layer order, mask, stroke
