figma-context-mcp

figma-context-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vladmdgolam/agent-skills. It costs 138 tokens per session (1,421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using Figma Context MCP, a service that gives coding agents information from Figma designs, such as layouts and design details.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for fetching selected design nodes, downloading design images, extracting design tokens, and planning efficient Figma API calls.
Why use it?
It helps reduce unnecessary Figma requests and avoid rate-limit errors that can temporarily block access.

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 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 11d 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.

Figma Context MCP

Expert guide for the Figma Context MCP (also known as Framelink). Teaches efficient API usage patterns that prevent 429 rate-limit lockouts.

Tools

Tool Purpose API Tier
get_figma_data Fetch file/node structure, layout, components Tier 1 (most restricted)
download_figma_images Export PNG/SVG renders of specific nodes Tier 2-3

Critical: Rate Limits

Figma enforces per-plan rate limits. Limits apply based on the file owner's plan, not yours:

Tier Starter Pro Org
Tier 1 (files) 10/min 15/min 20/min
Tier 2 (images) 25/min 50/min 100/min
Tier 3 50/min 100/min 150/min

View/Collab seats get only 6 Tier-1 calls/month. If accessing files owned by someone on a Starter/free plan, their limits apply to you.

429 lockouts can last 4-5 days. Prevention is essential.

Workflow: Metadata-First Pipeline

Never fetch everything upfront. Adopt this pipeline to keep most jobs under 2-3 API calls and <500 KB:

1. Start with a targeted node, not the whole file

When a user provides a Figma URL like figma.com/design/FILEKEY/Name?node-id=123-456, always extract and pass the nodeId. Never fetch the entire file when a specific node is available.

get_figma_data(fileKey="ABC123", nodeId="123-456", depth=2)

2. Use minimal depth

Always set depth to limit tree traversal:

  • depth=1: Top-level frame only (layout structure, component names)
  • depth=2: Frame + direct children (usually sufficient for code generation)
  • depth=3: Maximum recommended — only when nested auto-layouts require it

Default if omitted: the API returns the ENTIRE subtree — often megabytes for complex frames with 50-200+ children. This is the #1 cause of 429 errors.

3. Analyze locally before fetching more

After receiving the initial response:

  • Identify which child nodes actually need detail (skip hidden, decorative, or library-referenced nodes)
  • Extract design tokens (colors, spacing, typography) directly from the response — no extra calls needed
  • Build your component structure from what you already have

Changes

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.
