# Figma Dash MCP Server An open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects your IDE (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or Antigravity) directly to the Figma Desktop App. This allows AI assistants to proactively generate and manipulate layouts, shapes, and designs directly inside your Figma canvas! ## How it Works The architecture operates securely and completely offline on your local machine: 1. **Figma Plugin (`figma-plugin`)**: Runs inside your Figma drawing canvas. It hosts a hidden HTTP polling client to receive instructions. 2. **FastMCP Python Server (`figma_dash_mcp_server`)**: Runs as a background service spawned by your IDE. It exposes AI tools (e.g. `create_rectangle`, `create_frame`) and sends those commands to Figma via an internal loopback server (port `49901`). --- ## 🚀 Quick Start Guide ### Step 1: Install the Prerequisites Because the server is built with Python, you need an extremely fast package manager called `uv` to automatically download and run it in an isolated environment. Install `uv` (it takes 2 seconds): **macOS / Linux** ```bash curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh ``` **Windows** (PowerShell) ```powershell powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex" ``` *(If you are setting this up on a fresh machine, you might also need to install [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) locally if `uv` doesn't install it for you).* --- ### Step 2: Configure Your IDE You do **not** need to manually download or install any Python files. Your IDE will use the `uvx` command to grab the latest official package directly from PyPI on-the-fly! Add the following block to your IDE's MCP configuration settings (e.g., `Cursor Settings > Features > MCP`, or `claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "figma-generator": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--refresh", "figma-dash-mcp-server@latest"] } } } ``` *(When…
