Figma Rust MCP server

figma-mcp-rust

A high-performance Rust port of vkhanhqui/figma-mcp-go.

All credit for the original design, the Figma plugin bridge, and the tool catalogue goes to

@vkhanhqui. This repo migrates that same MCP server to Rust

with structured logging, race-free request correlation, and a declarative tool table;

see "What changed in the Rust rewrite" below.

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.

Highlights

• No Figma API token required
• No rate limits, free plan friendly
• Read and Write live Figma data via plugin bridge, 73 tools in total
• Full design automation: styles, variables, components, prototypes, and content
• Design strategies built in as MCP prompts, plus matching Claude Code skills

Why this exists

Most Figma MCP servers rely on the Figma REST API.

That sounds fine until you hit this:

If you're experimenting with AI tools, you'll burn through that in minutes.

I didn't have enough money to pay for higher limits. So I built something that doesn't use the API at all.

Installation & Setup

Install via npx, no build step required.

1. Configure your AI tool

Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add -s project figma-mcp-rust -- npx -y @alvinindra/figma-mcp-rust@latest

Claude Code plugin marketplace

/plugin marketplace add alvinindra/figma-mcp-rust
/plugin install figma-mcp-rust@figma-mcp-rust

Installing the plugin also adds 13 skills covering the workflows below, from reading designs to generating tokens and troubleshooting the bridge.

Codex CLI

codex mcp add figma-mcp-rust -- npx -y @alvinindra/figma-mcp-rust@latest

.mcp.json (Claude and other MCP-compatible tools)

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

.vscode/mcp.json (Cursor / VS Code / GitHub Copilot)

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

2. Install the Figma plugin

1. In Figma Desktop: Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest
2. Select manifest.json from the plugin.zip
3. Run the plugin inside any Figma file
