Hi,

I have configured the Figma MCP setup in my VSCode and tried to get the annotations data for a figma screen. The screen has many annotated components and I did code connect for the components as well. No matter which ever prompt I try, I’m not getting the annotated values. The prompts run get_metadata and get_code of the MCP server but still I get no desired results
See the below figma screen 
 

Screen

What should be the correct prompt or way I can extract all the annotations for the figma screen url and store it in a file?

Make sure the Figma design URL is in the correct format with both the file key and node-id. If anything is missing, copy the link again using “Copy link” from the frame and try again.

It’s correct. Infact I’m able to get the code (ReactJS) and design tokens for the screen. Its the annotations that I’m not getting.
