Unified design access in VS Code Copilot
Commit your MCP config to the repo using .vscode/mcp.json. Every developer on your team gets access to the same Figma tools immediately. This ensures everyone uses the same file keys and project paths. It cuts down on setup time for the whole squad.
Inspect project files via MCP Server
Use `get_project_files` to browse your team's work without switching tabs. It lists every file in a project with its last modified date. Once you find the right file, `get_file` gives you the full node tree. You can start building from the architecture immediately.
Track feedback threads in VS Code Copilot
Keep design reviews active by checking `get_comments`. It shows the message, the author, and whether the design team has marked it resolved. If you need more context, `get_comment_reactions` shows you how the team responded. It gives you the full story behind every design request.
