Perplexity

Deep inspection of Figma nodes

Stop guessing layer names. Use `get_file` to pull the full hierarchy or `get_file_nodes` to grab specific frames directly into your context. You get the exact data you need to write UI code without opening the browser. It's just raw JSON structures ready for your agent to process.

Full component library access

Audit your team's design system using `get_team_components` and `get_team_component_sets`. You can verify names and descriptions across the entire workspace. Finding the right component key is fast. Once you have it, `get_component` gives you the metadata required to match your code to the design.

Handle design feedback in Claude Desktop

Review project discussions by calling `get_comments`. You can see who said what, where they pinned it, and if the issue was resolved. Need to chime in? Use `post_comment` to reply directly to a thread. It keeps your design feedback loop inside your AI client.
