figma-copilot CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from xlzuvekas/figma-copilot. It costs 1,467 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an MCP integration that connects AI assistants with Figma, a tool for creating and editing digital designs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading and modifying Figma or FigJam designs programmatically, configuring the project, and running its development components.
Why use it?
They explain how the MCP server, WebSocket relay, and Figma plugin work together, reducing setup and development mistakes.

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-copilot 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 8d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration that enables AI assistants (Cursor AI and Claude Desktop) to communicate with Figma for reading and modifying designs programmatically. The project consists of three main components that work together:

  1. MCP Server (src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts) - Implements the Model Context Protocol, provides 40+ Figma manipulation tools
  2. WebSocket Server (src/socket.ts) - Message relay between MCP server and Figma plugin (port 3055)
  3. Figma Plugin (src/figma_copilot_plugin/) - Runs inside Figma/FigJam to execute API commands

Development Commands

# Initial setup - installs dependencies and configures MCP
bun setup

# Start WebSocket server (required for communication)
bun socket

# Build the TypeScript server
bun run build

# Build in watch mode for development
bun run dev

# Run the MCP server
bun start
# Or use the published version
bunx figma-copilot

# Publish to npm (maintainers only)
bun pub:release

Architecture Details

Communication Flow

  1. AI assistant (Cursor/Claude) sends commands via stdio to MCP server
  2. MCP server forwards commands through WebSocket to Figma plugin
  3. Figma plugin executes commands using Figma API and returns results
  4. Results flow back through WebSocket to MCP server to AI assistant

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
