What you can do
- File Inspection — Get complete document trees, specific nodes and their properties (frames, components, text, shapes)
- Image Export — Render any node as PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF with configurable scale
- Comments — Read, post and react to comments with canvas position pinning
- Version History — Browse file versions with labels, descriptions and creator info

No more switching to the Figma app to check comments, find a file key or export an image. Your AI acts as a dedicated design ops assistant.
Who is this for?
- Designers — quickly find recent files, review comments and export assets without opening the Figma app
- Developers — inspect node properties, get component details and render images for implementation reference
- Design Ops — audit component libraries, track version history and manage team projects via conversation

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Figma Personal Access Token?
Log in to Figma, click your profile icon > Settings > Personal access tokens, click Generate new token, give it a name and copy the token immediately — it starts with figd_ and won't be shown again.
How do I find a Figma file key?
The file key is the long alphanumeric string in the Figma URL. For example, in figma.com/file/abc123xyz/My-Design, the key is abc123xyz. You can also get recent files using the get_recent_files tool.
Can I export images from Figma designs?
Yes! Use get_images with the file key, node IDs and format (png, jpg, svg, pdf). You can set the scale (1x-4x) for raster formats. The API returns URLs to rendered images that you can download. Use get_file_nodes first to discover node IDs.
Can I read and reply to comments on a design?
Yes! Use get_comments to read all comments on a file, post_comment to add a new comment or reply (using comment_id), and post_comment_reaction to add emoji reactions. You can also pin comments to specific canvas positions using x/y coordinates.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
