Shared Figma tooling for VS Code Copilot

Commit your MCP configuration to your repository to give your whole team access to the same design tools. Use `list_team_projects` to keep everyone aligned on the same source of truth. This ensures every developer works with identical design system data, preventing local environment drift.

Visual regression via VS Code Copilot

Verify your UI against the design without leaving the editor. Use `get_images` to pull current design frames directly into your workspace. Your agent compares these renders against your implementation, identifying layout issues before they reach production.

Centralized Figma comment management in VS Code Copilot

Address design feedback without switching windows. Use `get_comments` to list open issues and `post_comment` to resolve them directly through the chat interface. This keeps your technical discussion tied directly to the design context, making handoffs much faster.

Setup guide

Set up Figma MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Figma MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Figma tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Figma transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
