Turning Figma designs into working code is a common workflow challenge. MCP servers can give Claude direct access to your Figma files, enabling accurate design-to-code implementation. Here are the best options for bridging design and development.
Recommended MCP Servers
Figma Context MCP
GLips/Figma-Context-MCP
Provide coding agents direct access to Figma data to help them one-shot design implementation.
Key Features
- Direct Figma file access
- Component and style extraction
- Layout and spacing data
- One-shot design implementation
Installation
npx figma-context-mcpFigma Context MCP is designed specifically for the design-to-code workflow. It gives Claude direct access to your Figma files, extracting components, styles, and layout information so Claude can implement designs accurately on the first try.
shadcn/ui MCP
nicobailey/shadcn-ui-mcp
Access to shadcn/ui components, blocks, and demos for building consistent UI.
Key Features
- Full shadcn/ui component library
- Blocks and demo access
- Component metadata
- Copy-paste ready code
Installation
npx shadcn-ui-mcpWhen implementing designs with shadcn/ui, this MCP gives Claude instant access to all components and blocks. Instead of reimplementing common patterns, Claude can use the official shadcn/ui components that match your design system.
21st.dev Magic MCP
21st-dev/magic-mcp
Create crafted UI components inspired by the best design engineers.
Key Features
- High-quality component patterns
- Design engineer best practices
- Beautiful UI defaults
- Modern design patterns
Installation
npx @21st-dev/magic-mcpMagic MCP provides access to high-quality UI patterns from top design engineers. When you need Claude to create polished, production-ready components without a specific Figma design, this ensures beautiful results.
Quick Comparison
| MCP | Stars | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Figma Context | >2k | Figma to code | Direct file access | Requires Figma API key |
| shadcn/ui MCP | >500 | Component library | Ready-to-use components | shadcn/ui specific |

Getting Started
To use Figma designs with Claude Code:
Get your Figma API key from Figma settings.
Install Figma Context MCP:
npx figma-context-mcpShare your Figma file URL with Claude and ask it to implement the design.
Example prompt: "Look at this Figma design [URL] and implement the header component using React and Tailwind CSS."
