Verify Figma MCP Transports
A Figma MCP tool answers the same question over two paths: REST (personal access token) and WebSocket (the Figma plugin). Fixing one and not the other still typechecks, so the drift is silent. Run both and compare mechanically.
For where the two paths diverge in this package, read packages/mcp/AGENTS.md.
[!IMPORTANT] Run this skill on the main thread. Phase 3 is a hard stop that waits on a person, and a subagent has nobody to ask — it will pass itself.
Prerequisites
FIGMA_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKENis set. If not, stop at Phase 0 and ask for it.- The Figma desktop app is installed.
- The tool under test is registered in
PROBESin the probe script. If it isn't, register it first — see the header comment in that file.
Phase 0: Decide what to inspect
Both transports need a target, so this comes before any probing — REST in Phase 1 already needs it.
