Question

Can't extract images using Figma MCP


Asaad_Mahmood1

I just can’t extract an image using Figma MCP.

As you can see its successful, but it gives me a url like this, which doesn’t point to anything hence the images do not get rendered.

Also attaching my Figma MCP settings.
 

 

 

 

And before anyone talks about it losing context etc because of the size. This is what I’m exporting, just this…

Because I just want to find out how to do a successful export with an image.

Hey everyone,
This looks like a version issue! 
Can you please check if your Figma desktop app is updated to the latest version?

Once it's updated, you should see two options under image Settings:

  • Use placeholder image
  • Use local server images

Selecting ‘Use local server images’ should resolve the issue and allow your images to pass through.

Let us know if you're still running into any issues!

Thanks so much for getting back ​@Yarden K 
I have re downloaded the app.. and can now see the new setting.. this is great progress.
I am running a super simple CRA with vite.. and have the MCP running ok.
Now the problem is the image local server just hangs.
Requests stay stuck in ‘pending’ state.
I’ve literally turned everything off and on twice.. restarted the figma app, restarted the local app.. deleted node_modules and reinstalled..
Still not working for me sadly.
(A colleague of mine is using the Beta Figma app, and it worked first time if that helps)
