Design Philosophy

This project is inspired by Anthropic's Code execution with MCP approach.

Instead of exposing dozens of individual MCP tools (which bloat the context window and slow down agents), figma-pilot provides only 3 tools:

The AI writes code to interact with Figma. This means:

  • 90%+ fewer tokens in tool definitions
  • Batch operations - modify 100 elements in one call
  • Data filtering - filter results before returning to context
  • Complex workflows - loops, conditionals, error handling

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Node.js >= 18
  • Figma Desktop app
  • An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.)

1. Install MCP Server

# Claude Code
claude mcp add figma-pilot -- npx @youware-labs/figma-pilot-mcp

# Other MCP clients - add to your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"figma-pilot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@youware-labs/figma-pilot-mcp"]
}
}
}

Questions

What is the Figma Pilot MCP server?

MCP that let AI agents control Figma through code execution

What tools does Figma Pilot expose?

18 in total: 9 read-only, 8 that write, and 1 that can delete or overwrite (delete). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Figma Pilot safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does Figma Pilot need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How does Figma Pilot run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as @figma-pilot/shared at 0.1.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (05271cf6553a), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
