Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-talk-to-figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-talk-to-figma-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-talk-to-figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-talk-to-figma-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-talk-to-figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-talk-to-figma-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-talk-to-figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-talk-to-figma-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "claude-talk-to-figma",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "claude-talk-to-figma-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "claude-talk-to-figma": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [

          "claude-talk-to-figma-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: claude-talk-to-figma-mcp

Audit a Figma file for off-system colors and styles

👤 Design system maintainers ⏱ ~20 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: The team's file has drifted from the design tokens and you want to find the strays.

Voraussetzungen

Figma plugin imported via manifest — Figma → Plugins → Development → Import from manifest
Running bun run socket — From the repo; opens the WebSocket

Ablauf

Connect

Connect to Figma, channel abc123 (copy from the plugin UI).✓ Kopiert

→ Connected; document name shown
Scan for off-system fills

Scan all nodes for fill colors that aren't in our 12 brand tokens. List node paths.✓ Kopiert

→ List of drift instances
Report

Group by nearest frame and summarize. Suggest which token each stray should be.✓ Kopiert

→ Actionable cleanup list

Ergebnis: A file you can hand to a designer with concrete fixes.

Fallstricke

Channel ID rotates if you restart the plugin — Always copy fresh from the plugin panel; stale IDs silently time out

Turn a written spec into a rough Figma frame

👤 PMs, non-designers ⏱ ~15 min beginner

Wann einsetzen: You want a quick wireframe without opening Figma yourself.

Ablauf

Describe the layout

Create a new frame 1440x900 in the current file. Add a header, a 3-column feature grid, and a footer. Use our brand colors.✓ Kopiert

→ Frame appears in Figma with the structure
Iterate

Make the feature cards use our 'Card' component. Swap the header to variant 'primary'.✓ Kopiert

→ Frame updated in real time

Ergebnis: A rough wireframe without touching the Figma UI.

Run an accessibility color-contrast check on a Figma file

👤 Designers, accessibility advocates ⏱ ~25 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: Before handoff, you want to flag contrast failures.

Ablauf

Walk text nodes with their backgrounds

For every text node, compute WCAG contrast against the nearest background fill. Flag anything below 4.5:1 for body or 3:1 for large.✓ Kopiert

→ List of failing pairs with ratios
Suggest adjustments

For each failure, suggest the minimum token swap to pass.✓ Kopiert

→ Fix suggestions

Ergebnis: An accessibility report before QA catches it later.

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

claude-talk-to-figma + meigen-ai-design

Generate an image, drop it into a Figma frame as a placeholder

Generate a hero image with MeiGen, then place it as a fill in the selected Figma frame.✓ Kopiert

claude-talk-to-figma + unreal

Figma HUD → Unreal UMG widget scaffold

Export the selected Figma HUD frame structure, then create a matching UMG Widget Blueprint in Unreal.✓ Kopiert

Werkzeuge

Was dieses MCP bereitstellt

Werkzeug	Eingaben	Wann aufrufen
get_document_info		First step; confirm the right file
get_selection		Operate on what the user selected
scan_styles		Drift detection
create_shape	type, x, y, w, h, fill?	Build layouts
create_text	content, x, y, style?	Add labels/headings
set_fill	node_id, color	Fix strays
set_auto_layout	node_id, direction, padding, gap	Convert to responsive

Kosten & Limits

Was der Betrieb kostet

API-Kontingent: None — everything is local WebSocket
Tokens pro Aufruf: Document scans can be 5-30k tokens on big files
Kosten in €: Free
Tipp: Operate on get_selection whenever possible; full-doc scans burn tokens

Sicherheit

Rechte, Secrets, Reichweite

Credential-Speicherung: No API keys; the plugin uses your current Figma session

Datenabfluss: Local WebSocket only; Figma data only leaves if you share results

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Connection timeout / channel not found

Channel IDs rotate — copy fresh from the plugin panel and reconnect

Plugin missing from Figma menu

Re-import via Plugins → Development → Import from manifest; dev plugins don't persist across Figma restarts on some setups

Writes fail silently

Figma restricts plugin writes on some file types (libraries, community duplicates). Check for the lock icon

Alternativen

claude-talk-to-figma-mcp vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
Framelink / Figma-Context MCP	You want read-only via Figma's API with a personal token	No write; needs API access
Figma Dev Mode MCP (official)	Your org pays for Dev Mode	Paid seats required
