| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | MCP authentication or tokens are not documented. The current Figma user must have permission to edit the target file for writes. | Contentful Management API PAT |
| Cost | The MIT-licensed project documents npx installation and lists no MCP usage fee. Figma plan, client, and model costs are separate. | Contentful account/plan limits apply |
| Permissions | Reads connected Figma files, documents, selections, styles, variables, metadata, and screenshots. Opt-in tools can edit text and properties, create or delete nodes, reparent content, and save screenshots locally; writes require Figma edit permission. | Contentful roles + space/environment scope; PROTECTED_ENVIRONMENTS can block env-scoped writes/deletes |
| Data handling | Streams live Figma document data from the plugin to the AI client through the local bridge; screenshots can be returned or saved locally. Telemetry, retention, and model-training behavior are not documented. | Content/asset metadata to Contentful CMA under configured token/space/environment |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Read tools can expose private designs and write tools can modify or delete shared files. Keep the unauthenticated local WebSocket and HTTP bridge restricted and require confirmation for writes. | CVE-2026-53957 fixed from 1.7.19; current source 1.21.1 |
