| Client coverage | ||

| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Remote HTTP uses OAuth. Local setup stores a Taisly agent credential or uses TAISLY_API_KEY in ~/.taisly/config.json. | The recommended remote server at https://mcp.figma.com/mcp uses user OAuth. Desktop mode relies on the signed-in Figma desktop application and its local endpoint. |
| Cost | The package is free to install and has a free starting tier without a credit card. Paid plans exist, but exact prices are not in the reviewed README. | Figma documents the MCP feature as free during its current beta and says it is expected to become usage-based paid. Underlying Figma plans and plan-specific features may also apply. |
| Permissions | Connects social accounts and validates, publishes, schedules, lists, and checks videos across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, and other connected platforms. Local mode can read local videos. | OAuth grants access to authorized Figma resources. Available tools can read design context and, in supported workflows, create or modify canvas content. Desktop mode can also serve or download image and SVG assets. |
| Data handling | Remote mode sends public video URLs, captions, schedules, account identifiers, and posting requests through Taisly and social platforms. Local stdio reads local video files; retention is not documented. | The remote service retrieves design nodes, components, variables, layouts, and potentially Make or Code Connect resources and returns them to the MCP client. Desktop mode can write downloaded assets into the local project. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Posting and scheduling create external account changes. Follow the documented authenticate, validate, confirm, create flow; posts:create requires confirmed:true, and destinations, captions, and schedules need review. | Private designs can be disclosed through tool results, and write-enabled tools can change shared design files. Restrict accessible files, review OAuth consent, require confirmation for writes, and inspect downloaded assets before committing them. |
