I added the Figma MCP Server to mcp.json and tried both the global and workspace configurations. But, it throws the same error every time I try to start the server. I found suggestions online to use the Figma desktop app, ensure Node.js is installed, use a Figma Pro account, and try with a Personal Access Token (PAT). I have confirmed all of these requirements, but the error persists.

“Connection state: Error Error sending message to https://mcp.figma.com/mcp: TypeError: fetch failed”

{
  "servers": {
    "com.figma.mcp/mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp"
    }
  },
  "inputs": []
}

Hi ​@Burak Karaduman, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

Thanks for sharing the details and the screenshot, that’s really helpful. I can see you’ve already worked through a number of the suggested steps - appreciate that.

Just to help narrow this down a bit further, could you try the following checks:

  • Can you confirm that you’re updated to the latest version of the Figma desktop application?
  • I’d also suggest checking your mcp.json file in VS Code to make sure it’s set up correctly and pointing to the correct server

If you’re able to, could you share a screenshot of your mcp.json configuration? That would help us take a closer look.

One additional thing to check since the error mentions a failed fetch request is whether there might be any network restrictions (for example, firewall, VPN, or proxy settings) that could be blocking requests to https://mcp.figma.com/mcp.

We can take it from there once we have a bit more context. Thanks!
