Do I need a Figma personal access token?

Most Figma MCP servers need a Figma token or OAuth app with file read (and comment) scopes.

Can it edit the design file?

Many servers are read/comment oriented. Do not assume write access to layers unless the server lists those tools.

Read designs and leave feedback from chat

Designers ask for “Figma MCP” and land on generic design categories. You need servers that attach to a Figma file key and expose nodes or comments.

Use Figma’s official MCP guide/server when you want the supported path from Figma.

Community context servers help for code-gen from frames or alternate Figma API wrappers.

One server — Figma. Not a stack merge.
