Live Figma file inspection in AI SDK

Pull live design data directly into your frontend components. Use `get_file` to grab specific node structures and render them as the AI processes the file. This keeps your interface snappy. You don't wait for a background process because the data streams through your Vercel AI SDK connection the moment it's requested.

Automated design token management

Fetch design system variables without leaving your code editor. Call `get_local_variables` to sync your theme tokens with your production CSS. Your AI agent handles the heavy lifting. It identifies style changes in Figma and updates your codebase while you focus on the actual logic.

Interactive design feedback loops

Post comments directly from your AI agent during the development process. Use `post_comment` to notify designers about implementation blockers the moment they arise. This closes the loop between design and code. Your team stays aligned because the feedback hits the Figma canvas immediately.

Setup guide

Set up Figma MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all Figma tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent Figma transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();

Common questions about Figma MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Install the necessary packages via npm and set up the MCP client using your endpoint. You'll pass the tools into your generateText function to start executing commands.

Yes. You can use the tools to grab node metadata and map those to your existing React components. This allows your agent to construct UIs based on actual design files.

Yes, it does. Since the MCP server connects via HTTP, your agent can stream tool results back to the frontend without blocking your primary interaction.

The server will return an error code. You should handle this in your application logic by implementing a retry strategy or checking your current request quota.

Vinkius handles the connection securely. Your token is never exposed to the client-side code, keeping your design files and project access completely private.
