Hi! I'm currently testing the Figma MCP integration using Cursor. It works fine when running cursor from Windows, but I’d like to have everything set up and working from WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

I tried forwarding port 3852, but it’s still not connecting properly.

Has anyone managed to get it working from WSL? Any tips or steps you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Hey ​@Gustavo Iglesias, thanks for reaching out! 

I passed this along to our MCP team, and they confirmed that this isn’t currently possible. Our MCP team is already diligently working on this though.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. Be on the lookout for future updates closer to when MCP goes out of beta.

Any realistic timeline?

Hey,

I had the same issue, i fixed it using  a local proxy using npm.

In windows simply execute : 

npx http-proxy-cli --port 8080 --hostname 0.0.0.0 3845

Then in wsl, you have to find your windows host ip :

ip route show | grep -i default | awk '{ print $3}'

=> should get something like 172.20.112.1

Then you’ll have your mcp at http://172.20.112.1/mcp

 

Hope it helps.
Regards.
