figma-mcp-go

Skill by ara.so — MCP Skills collection

An open-source MCP server that provides full read/write access to Figma files through a plugin bridge, bypassing REST API rate limits. Built in Go, it enables AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to automate design workflows, create components, modify styles, manage variables, and export designs to code.

What It Does

• No API Token Required: Works through a Figma plugin, avoiding REST API limits (6 calls/month on free plans)
• 73 Tools: Complete CRUD operations for frames, components, text, styles, variables, prototypes, and more
• Bidirectional: Read design context and write changes back to live Figma files
• Export: Screenshot nodes, generate PDFs, export design tokens as JSON/CSS
• Built-in Strategies: Includes MCP prompts for design best practices
