How do I connect my Figma account?

You just need to provide your Figma Personal Access Token after subscribing to the MCP on Vinkius. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start interacting with your files.

Can I export images through my AI client?

Yes. You can tell your agent to render specific nodes as PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF at various scales.

Does this work with any AI client?

This MCP works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can the AI post comments on my behalf?

Yes, your agent can post new comments and even pin them to specific coordinates on the Figma canvas.

How do I find the file key for a design?

The file key is located in the URL of your Figma file. Your agent can also find file keys by searching through your recent files or team projects.

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 capability.

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.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Automated Asset Handoff

Ask your agent to export specific UI elements as SVGs so you can drop them straight into your code.

Design Review

Have your agent summarize all recent comments on a design file to catch pending feedback.

Component Auditing

Use the agent to list all published components in a team library to ensure design system compliance.

Version Comparison

Ask for the version history of a file to see what changed between the last two iterations.

Automate a task

Put Figma to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Figma works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Figma to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 16 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Figma, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Figma. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
