Figma MCP connector

The Figma connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent read your Figma files, components, styles, versions, and comments, and post comments back, with every person signed in as themselves and every action logged.

Connect on Elaichi How to connect

  • How it connects. OAuth or API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect Figma to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect Figma once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Figma.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Supply your own Figma app, then approve. Figma needs an OAuth app you register yourself, so bring its client ID and secret. One person does this once for the organization.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with Figma through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Design

    Read the comment thread before a review

    Ask for every open comment on a file and who left it, then walk into the review already knowing where the disagreements are.

  • Product

    Leave feedback without opening the file

    Post a comment on a specific frame in Figma from Claude while writing the spec, and react to a teammate's comment to show it has been seen.

  • Engineering

    Find the right component before building

    Look up a component or component set by name, read its description, and confirm which file it lives in so the build matches the library.

  • Brand

    Check a page against the style library

    Pull the team's color and text styles from Figma and compare them with what a landing page or deck is actually using.

  • Design ops

    See what changed in a file this week

    List a file's version history and the team's recent activity in Figma to catch up after time away or prepare a weekly update.

  • Marketing

    Grab a frame for the launch post

    Ask for an image of a named frame in Figma and drop it into release notes or a campaign brief without exporting by hand.

Try asking

  • “List the files in our Design System project.”
  • “Show unresolved comments on the checkout flow file.”
  • “Which components changed in this file since last week?”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Figma to Claude?

Connect Figma in Elaichi first, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Figma asks each company to register its own OAuth application inside Figma, so an administrator brings a client ID and secret once when setting up the connector in Elaichi. After that, each person simply approves access in the normal Figma sign-in window and nobody else handles a credential.

Does Figma work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Figma is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Figma once and every client your team uses can reach it.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Figma files?

An agent can browse your Figma teams, projects, and files, read the comments on a file, list version history and recent activity, and look up components, component sets, and styles from your libraries. It can also fetch an image of a frame, post a comment, and add or remove a reaction. Short, specific asks such as "list open comments on the checkout file" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Figma give the AI access to every file in my workspace?

No. Access follows the person who signed in, so the agent only sees the Figma teams, projects, and files that person can already open. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never widen access beyond what Figma itself allows that person.

Can my team share one Figma connection?

Yes. One person connects Figma in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, so nobody else has to register an application or touch a client secret. Each teammate still signs in to Figma as themselves, so their own permissions apply and the audit log names the actual person behind every comment or lookup.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Figma?

Yes. In Figma the connector can only create and delete comments and reactions, and each of those actions can be blocked separately in Elaichi. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client, so no prompt can trigger it, and the rest of the connector keeps working read-only.

What happens to a Figma connection when someone leaves the company?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Figma through every AI client at once. If they connected Figma and shared it with a team, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Figma once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time.

Does the Figma MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Figma is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Figma?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Figma. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Figma call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Figma?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Figma: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
