Hey ​@onioncong, thanks for reaching out!

Figma's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server rate limits are based on plan and seat type. For Education plan accounts (K-12 included), here's what applies:

  1. View or Collab seat: up to 6 tool calls per month
  2. Dev or Full seat: up to 200 tool calls per day, with a per-minute cap of 10 calls

So as long as your K-12 account has a Dev or Full seat, you'll get the higher daily allowance rather than the 6/month cap.

A couple of extra details that might help:

  • A few tools — whoami, add_code_connect_map, and generate_figma_design — don't count against these limits at all.
  • Figma reserves the right to adjust rate limits over time, so the Rate limits & access page in our developer docs is the best place to confirm the most current numbers.

If you want to double check which seat you're on, you can ask your MCP client to run the whoami tool. It's exempt from the limit and will confirm your plan and seat type directly.

 

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions!
