CC Fig MCP

Figma integration for Claude Code with bidirectional design control and real-time sync.

Based on claude-talk-to-figma-mcp-daisyui by morteng and claude-talk-to-figma-mcp by arinspunk.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • Docker & Docker Compose
  • pnpm
  • Figma Desktop

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/agenisea/cc-fig-mcp.git
cd cc-fig-mcp
pnpm install
pnpm run build

Setup Guide

1. Run the WebSocket Relay (Docker)

cd /path/to/cc-fig-mcp

# Build and start the relay server
docker-compose up -d --build

# Verify it's running
curl http://localhost:3055/status

2. Configure Claude Code

Option A: CLI Flag

claude --mcp-config '{"figma":{"command":"node","args":["/path/to/cc-fig-mcp/dist/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.js"]}}'

Option B: Edit ~/.claude.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/cc-fig-mcp/dist/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

3. Install Figma Plugin

  1. Open Figma Desktop
  2. Go to Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest
  3. Select: /path/to/cc-fig-mcp/src/claude_mcp_plugin/manifest.json

4. Connect Figma Plugin

  1. In Figma, open Plugins → CC Fig MCP Plugin
  2. Set Port: 3055
  3. Set Channel: Your Figma project name (e.g., my-app-design, dashboard-ui)
  4. Click Connect
  5. Status must show green/connected

5. Use in Claude Code

# Join the same channel as your Figma plugin (your Figma project name)
figma - join_channel("your-figma-project-name")

# Now you can use Figma tools
figma - create_rectangle(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100)
figma - create_text(x: 50, y: 50, text: "Hello")

Important Requirements

Requirement Details
Docker running WebSocket relay must be up on port 3055
Plugin window open Keep the Figma plugin window visible
Connection green Plugin must show connected status
Same channel Use your Figma project name as the channel in both Figma plugin and Claude Code
Reconnect if needed If you see timeouts, reconnect the plugin and re-join channel in Claude Code

Troubleshooting

"Forwarded message to 0 clients"

Figma plugin disconnected. Reconnect in Figma.

"Request timed out"

Plugin not connected or wrong channel. Check plugin status and channel name matches.

"Must join a channel"

Run join_channel("your-figma-project-name") in Claude Code first.

Port 3055 already in use

Change the port in docker-compose.yml:

ports:
  - "3056:3055"  # Use 3056 externally

Then update the Figma plugin port to match.

Connection drops frequently

The Figma plugin may disconnect when the plugin window loses focus. Keep the plugin panel visible while working.
