Figma-Context-MCP CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from GLips/Figma-Context-MCP. It costs 1,982 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for developing Framelink MCP for Figma, a server that lets AI coding tools read simplified layout and styling data from Figma designs. It documents installation, development, testing, formatting, debugging, and releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install dependencies, build or run the server, check types and code style, run individual tests, inspect the MCP connection, and prepare releases.
Why use it?
It puts the project's recurring commands and release process in one place, reducing guesswork during development.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is GLips/Figma-Context-MCP's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Figma-Context-MCP itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Figma-Context-MCP configures →

About the project

Figma-Context-MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents structured information about Figma files, frames, and groups. It is used with Cursor and other supported coding tools to help them implement designs from Figma, and the catalogue entries configure or guide that agent integration.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Figma-Context-MCP CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Framelink MCP for Figma is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI coding tools (Cursor, etc.) access to Figma design data. It fetches Figma files/nodes via the Figma API, simplifies the response to include only relevant layout and styling information, and serves it to AI clients.

Build & Development Commands

pnpm install          # Install dependencies
pnpm build            # Build with tsup (outputs to dist/)
pnpm dev              # Development mode with watch + auto-restart (HTTP)
pnpm dev:cli          # Development mode (stdio)
pnpm test             # Run Vitest tests
pnpm type-check       # TypeScript type checking only
pnpm lint             # ESLint
pnpm format           # Prettier formatting
pnpm inspect          # Run MCP inspector for debugging

Running the Server

pnpm start            # HTTP mode (default port 3333)
pnpm start:cli        # stdio mode for MCP clients

Running a Single Test

pnpm test -- path/to/test.ts
pnpm test -- --testNamePattern="pattern"

Releasing

Releases are automated via release-please. On merge to main, release-please reads conventional commit prefixes (fix:, feat:, feat!:) and maintains a release PR. Merging the release PR publishes to npm via OIDC trusted publishing.

PR Title Convention

PRs are squash-merged, so the PR title becomes the commit message that release-please parses. Always use Conventional Commit prefixes in PR titles.

Architecture

Entry Points

  • src/bin.ts — CLI entry point, calls startServer()
  • src/server.ts — Server initialization, handles stdio vs HTTP mode selection
  • src/mcp-server.ts — Library re-exports for external consumers (createServer, startServer, etc.)
  • src/index.ts — Library exports (extractors, types)

Transport Modes

The server supports two transports (configured in src/server.ts):

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
