SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides structured access to Figma designs through the MCP Remote Server, enabling seamless extraction and transformation of design data for development pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP-based data extraction: retrieve design context, tokens, and metadata for frames and components.
  • Visual verification: generate screenshots and layer structures to validate designs.
  • Design-to-code mapping: identify corresponding components and map designs to code components.

Quick Start

Use the figma-reader skill to extract design data from a Figma file via MCP. Provide a Figma URL or nodeId and choose a target tool (e.g., get_design_context for code generation, get_variable_defs for tokens).

Frequently Asked Questions about figma-reader

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract design tokens from a Figma file for development?▼

To extract design tokens from a Figma file, you provide a Figma URL or nodeId and use the get_variable_defs tool via the MCP Remote Server to retrieve structured token data for your development pipeline.

Can I generate a screenshot of Figma components to verify layouts?▼

Yes, you can generate screenshots of Figma components to verify layouts by using the get_screenshot tool, which captures visual representations of frames or components accessed through the MCP Remote Server.

What's the best way to map Figma designs to existing code components?▼

To map Figma designs to existing code components, you use the get_code_connect_map tool to identify corresponding components, or add_code_connect_map to create new mappings, streamlining your design-to-code workflow.

Do I need OAuth authentication to extract Figma data via MCP?▼

Yes, you need Figma OAuth authentication and access to the MCP Remote Server to securely extract design context, metadata, and variable definitions from your Figma files.

How does MCP retrieve design context for design-to-code workflows?▼

MCP retrieves design context by connecting to the MCP Remote Server with a Figma URL or nodeId, applying the get_design_context tool to extract structured frame and component data for code generation.

What are the limitations of extracting Figma data via MCP Remote Server?▼

Extraction requires valid Figma OAuth credentials and a specific Figma URL or nodeId, and it operates strictly within the capabilities of supported tools like get_metadata and get_variable_defs without direct local file parsing.
