Checked against public documentation on . Suitability guidance is our editorial judgment; this is not a performance benchmark or an endorsement.

You can't use a Figma personal access token; the server calls the Figma API with one.
About Framelink MCP for Figma
Framelink MCP for Figma (the figma-developer-mcp package) fetches a Figma file, frame or group through the Figma API and trims the response to the layout and styling information a model needs; the author reports this one-shots designs more accurately than pasting screenshots. It was built with Cursor in mind and works with other MCP clients.
Framelink MCP for Figma is listed in this index written primarily in TypeScript, with 16k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in October 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.
Before connecting: access and data
This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.
- List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
- Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
- Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
- Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
