| Client coverage | ||
| Client coverage details | Claude Code✓ Local stdio Claude Desktop✓ Local stdio Codex✓ Local stdio VS Code✓ Local stdio Cursor✓ Local stdio OpenCode✓ Local stdio | Claude Code✓ Local stdio Claude Desktop✓ Local stdio Codex✓ Local stdio VS Code✓ Local stdio Cursor✓ Local stdio OpenCode✓ Local stdio |
| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Uses a personal access token through FIGMA_API_KEY or X-Figma-Token, or an OAuth bearer token. HTTP also supports per-request token headers. | Contentful Management API PAT |
| Cost | The MIT-licensed server lists no MCP fee. Figma plan and API limits, client, and model costs are separate. | Contentful account/plan limits apply |
| Permissions | Reads Figma file and node data through the Figma API and downloads PNG, SVG, or GIF assets into a configured local image directory; no Figma write capability is documented. | Contentful roles + space/environment scope; PROTECTED_ENVIRONMENTS can block env-scoped writes/deletes |
| Data handling | Figma metadata and API responses are returned to the MCP client; raw tools write figma-raw.json locally and image tools save assets locally. Telemetry sends server, platform, session, and event metadata by default; retention is not documented. | Content/asset metadata to Contentful CMA under configured token/space/environment |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Private design data and assets can reach the MCP client or model and local raw logs; telemetry adds metadata transmission. Protect tokens, restrict the image directory, and review downloaded and raw files. | CVE-2026-53957 fixed from 1.7.19; current source 1.21.1 |
