Figma has launched an innovative integration called Dev Mode MCP, which allows AI models to fetch design contexts directly from local Figma designs. Previously, generating code from AI was limited due to the use of static images, which lacked crucial context about design variables and systems. With the MCP server integration, designers can convert their Figma designs into functioning web applications in a fraction of the time required for traditional coding. The article outlines the process for enabling the MCP server and connecting it with AI code editors like Cursor, promoting a seamless design-to-code workflow.
Figma introduced the Dev Mode MCP integration, allowing AI models to access full design context, which drastically improves the accuracy of generated code.
Using Figma's new MCP server, I transformed a simple design into a functional web app in just 15 minutes, bypassing the need for hand-coding.
