Introduction
Cursor Talk to Figma MCP implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration between Cursor AI and Figma, allowing Cursor to communicate with Figma for reading designs and modifying them programmatically.
This tool provides the following capabilities:
* Reading Figma document information and selection
* Creating elements like rectangles, frames, and text nodes
* Modifying text content and styling properties
* Manipulating layout and organization of elements
* Working with components and styles
* Exporting nodes as images
* Executing custom Figma code
The integration consists of a TypeScript MCP server for Figma integration, a Figma plugin for communicating with Cursor, and a WebSocket server that facilitates communication between them.
Use Cases
- 1Automating repetitive design tasks in Figma
- 2Using AI to generate and modify design elements
- 3Creating design prototypes through code
- 4Extracting design information programmatically
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Free and open source
- Enables programmatic control of Figma through AI
- Supports a wide range of Figma operations
- Easy setup process
Cons
- Requires technical knowledge to set up
- Limited to Cursor AI integration
- Requires running a WebSocket server
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
Model Context Protocol is a framework that allows AI models like those in Cursor to interact with external tools and services. In this case, it enables Cursor AI to communicate with and control Figma.
How do I set up Cursor Talk to Figma MCP?
You need to install the Bun JavaScript runtime, run the setup script, start the WebSocket server and MCP server, and install the Figma plugin. Detailed instructions are available in the GitHub repository.
Can I use this with any design tool other than Figma?
Currently, this implementation is specifically designed for Figma. However, the MCP approach could be adapted for other design tools with similar plugin capabilities.
