# Cursor Talk to Figma MCP This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration between Cursor AI and Figma, allowing Cursor to communicate with Figma for reading designs and modifying them programmatically. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/129a14d2-ed73-470f-9a4c-2240b2a4885c ## Project Structure - `src/talk_to_figma_mcp/` - TypeScript MCP server for Figma integration - `src/cursor_mcp_plugin/` - Figma plugin for communicating with Cursor - `src/socket.ts` - WebSocket server that facilitates communication between the MCP server and Figma plugin ## Get Started 1. Install Bun if you haven't already: ```bash curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash ``` 2. Run setup, this will also install MCP in your Cursor's active project ```bash bun setup ``` 3. Start the Websocket server ```bash bun start ``` 4. Install [Figma Plugin](#figma-plugin) ## Manual Setup and Installation ### MCP Server: Integration with Cursor Add the server to your Cursor MCP configuration in `~/.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "TalkToFigma": { "command": "bun", "args": [ "/path/to/cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp/src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts" ] } } } ``` ### WebSocket Server Start the WebSocket server: ```bash bun run src/socket.ts ``` ### Figma Plugin 1. In Figma, go to Plugins > Development > New Plugin 2. Choose "Link existing plugin" 3. Select the `src/cursor_mcp_plugin/manifest.json` file 4. The plugin should now be available in your Figma development plugins ## Usage 1. Start the WebSocket server 2. Install the MCP server in Cursor 3. Open Figma and run the Cursor MCP Plugin 4. Connect the plugin to the WebSocket server by joining a channel using `join_channel` 5. Use Cursor to communicate with Figma using the MCP tools ## MCP Tools The MCP server provides the following tools for interacting with Figma: ### Document & Selection - `get_document_info` - Get information about the current Figma document - `get_selection` - Get information about the current selection - `get_node_info` - Get detailed information about a specific node ### Creating Elements - `create_rectangle` - Create a new rectangle with position, size, and optional name - `create_frame` - Create a new frame with position, size, and optional name - `create_text` - Create a new text node with customizable font properties ### Styling - `set_fill_color` - Set the fill color of a node (RGBA) - `set_stroke_color` - Set the stroke color and weight of a node - `set_corner_radius` - Set the corner radius of a node with optional per-corner control ### Layout & Organization - `move_node` - Move a node to a new position - `resize_node` - Resize a node with new dimensions - `delete_node` - Delete a node ### Components & Styles - `get_styles` - Get information about local styles - `get_local_components` - Get information about local components - `get_team_components` - Get information about team components - `create_component_instance` - Create an instance of a component ### Export & Advanced - `export_node_as_image` - Export a node as an image (PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF) - `execute_figma_code` - Execute arbitrary JavaScript code in Figma (use with caution) ### Connection Management - `join_channel` - Join a specific channel to communicate with Figma ## Development ### Building the Figma Plugin 1. Navigate to the Figma plugin directory: ``` cd src/cursor_mcp_plugin ``` 2. Edit code.js and ui.html ## Best Practices When working with the Figma MCP: 1. Always join a channel before sending commands 2. Get document overview using `get_document_info` first 3. Check current selection with `get_selection` before modifications 4. Use appropriate creation tools based on needs: - `create_frame` for containers - `create_rectangle` for basic shapes - `create_text` for text elements 5. Verify changes using `get_node_info` 6. Use component instances when possible for consistency 7. Handle errors appropriately as all commands can throw exceptions ## License MIT
