Cursor Talk to Figma MCP connects Cursor AI to Figma so the agent can read designs and modify them programmatically. It has three parts: a TypeScript MCP server, a Figma plugin that communicates with the agent, and a WebSocket server that relays messages between the two. Setup uses Bun: run `bun setup` (which also installs the MCP into Cursor's active project), start the WebSocket server with `bun socket`, then install the plugin from the Figma community page or locally.

The tool list is long and grouped: document and selection (get document info, selection, node info, set focus), annotations, prototyping and FigJam connections, creating rectangles, frames and text, bulk text content edits, auto-layout and spacing controls (layout mode, padding, alignment, sizing, item spacing), and styling. The README highlights contributed automations such as bulk text replacement and propagating component instance overrides from a source instance to many targets. The project is MIT licensed.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-24.

Trade-offs

!It needs three moving parts running together: the MCP server, a WebSocket server (`bun socket`) and the Figma plugin.
!Setup relies on Bun and is oriented to Cursor, so other clients need manual MCP configuration.
!It lets an agent modify your Figma file directly, so work on a copy or keep version history when trying it.
