Add the Framelink Figma MCP MCP server to Claude Code

Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

The exact config to run Framelink Figma MCP in Claude Code — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code installed.
  • FIGMA_API_KEY — Figma personal access token used to call the Figma REST API.

Setup

1. Open ~/.claude.json

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.claude.json

~/.claude.json
json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "framelink-figma": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "figma-developer-mcp",
        "--figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY",
        "--stdio"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FIGMA_API_KEY": "<FIGMA_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
Or via CLI
bash
claude mcp add framelink-figma -- npx -y figma-developer-mcp --figma-api-key=YOUR-KEY --stdio

3. Restart Claude Code and confirm the Framelink Figma MCP tools load.

Gotchas

Claude Code stores MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.claude.json. It also reads a project-scoped .mcp.json and supports adding servers from the command line with "claude mcp add". Each entry must declare either a "type" or a "command"; Claude Code refuses an entry that has neither. Remote servers connect natively over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.
