Description
Figma-Context-MCP is a server implementation that bridges AI assistants with the Figma design platform, enabling direct access to Figma file data through the MCP protocol. It transforms complex Figma API responses into simplified, structured design information that includes layout properties, styling, and text content, making it easier for AI assistants to understand and reason about design files. The server provides tools for retrieving complete Figma files or specific nodes, downloading images, and processing design hierarchies - making it particularly valuable for design review workflows, code generation from designs, and collaborative design discussions.

} Security Audit
| Dimension | Result | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Transport Security | Stdio (Local) | Stdio is local-only process communication. SSE/HTTP exposes network attack surface. |
| Authentication | API Key | Static API key — long-lived secret must be stored securely. |
| Token Lifecycle | Long-lived (Static) | Short-lived tokens limit exposure window if compromised. Long-lived tokens require secure rotation policies. |
| Input Handling | Parameterized (Safe) | Parameterized inputs prevent injection attacks. Shell strings enable command injection vectors. |
| Data Residency | Cloud | Local-only data never leaves your machine. Cloud residency means data flows through third-party APIs. |
