Hi, I have been playing around with Figma MCP and it looks very promising. I am curious if @figma or anyone else has any guidance on writing system rules in cursor (or another IDE) specific to reading Figma designs / frames better.I am experimenting with creating links to other figma files / libraries for accessing Phosphor icons, Brand Colours, Brand Symbols etc to see if I can improve the accuracy of the coded output from my design. (*there appears to be a lot of guesswork by the A.I. despite these components are imported from a team library)*I will do a test on the layer naming to see if it works better.**If you are using Annotations on the design canvas I would be grateful to see what content you are adding there. 

I’m having an issue in my Figma Design file with colour library for past few days. Inside the colour library dropdown, the colours I have added from my Design System are not showing any thumbnail. I can see all the colour variable created in the Design System but none of the groups are showing colour thumbnails. Once I switch from grid view to list view in the colour library dropdown, I can see the complete list of all the colours and they are working correctly. But I’m still not seeing the colours thumnail associated to the variables. I’m attaching screenshots to give a better context of what the issue is. Any idea what I’m doing wrong or any suggestions to resolve this?Not able to see the colours in colour library

We are in the process of changing our domain name, and we are currently using "Login with Google" for authentication. Could you please provide the steps to update this integration with the new domain? I have been unable to reach support through other channels. Appreciate any assistance.

 I’m hoping someone can clarify this for me. I used to copy objects from Adobe Illustrator with Cmd +C and paste them into Figma with Cmd +V, and they would arrive as editable vectors. I’m absolutely certain this worked before. Lately, though, every paste comes in as a flattened image instead of vectors. Nothing in my workflow has changed, so I’m starting to wonder if I’m losing my mind! Has Figma (or Illustrator) changed something recently? Is there a setting or workaround I’m missing? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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

I have lost access to my Gmail account, which was linked to my Figma account. Unfortunately this means I can no longer log in to Figma. I’ve created this new account to seek assistance.Could anyone guide me on how to change the email address associated with my Figma account so that I can regain access?

I’m trying to create a template for an app. I’ve spent a lot of time creating a clickable prototype with a bunch of different pages and I want to import it into Figma make and have all those page connections work in there. I tried doing this a few different ways and none of them work. There is also nothing I cna find on the web about this which is why I’m asking here.

While trying to use Figma Make, and importing our components, Figma Make doesn't seem to use the actual component but rather imagines a similar one and thus losing all of the properties associated with the component. Is there a way to force Figma Make to use the actual components with their properties? Even if I specify that I want it to use the component, it doesn't.

Hi there!I’m pretty new to Figma and could use some help. I’m trying to use the Halftone plugin on a picture, but it doesn’t seem to work — actually, none of the new plugins are working for me.Could you please help me figure out what might be going wrong?

Hi, I’m unable to sign in to my Figma account. The issue is that the authentication code (for verification/login) is being sent to my old Gmail account, which has become inactive. I no longer have access to that email, and I also don’t remember the password to recover it.Because of this, I’m completely locked out of my Figma account.Is there any way to verify my identity or recover access without using that old email?Thanks for your help!

In today’s fast-paced design and development workflow, bridging the gap between design and implementation is crucial. AI tools that convert Figma designs directly into React components are transforming the process by reducing manual coding time while preserving design accuracy.These tools integrate well with existing design systems, including hospital management systems (HMS) and other complex platforms. This enables teams to produce clean, reusable components aligned with HMS user interface standards, ensuring consistent and reliable user experiences across healthcare applications.By generating production-ready code from Figma, teams accelerate development and enhance collaboration between designers and developers. This process maintains quality, supports responsiveness, and meets accessibility standards—all essential for modern HMS interfaces.As AI-powered workflo

Hi everyone, here’s my situation:I have two Figma accounts, one on the Organization plan and one on the Professional plan, using different emails. I want to transfer (or copy) projects from the Organization account to the Professional account, including the Design System, and keep component links intact.However, when I use “Transfer” option under Settings from the Organization account, the Professional account doesn't receive any in-app notification. When I click “Review Request” from the email, it says “The transfer request you received has been cancelled by the team or organization that sent it. It's no longer available.” Even though no one canceled itAny idea why this happens or the best way to transfer projects to different account that keep all the components intact?

I am creating one application in React and using CSS3. We have designs prepared in Figma. To accelerate the process of creating application, I am exploring some AI tools which can convert my Figma design directly into React component/page. What I am also expecting is accuracy (some minor changes I can do). Can someone suggest more efficient tool for achieving my objective?Thanks in advance.

I have multiple components created to make it easy to resize my social media frames. I just swap the components and they resize as expected. Now I have hundreds of instances (all in one size) and I want to generate multiple instances for each in various sizes by swapping the components. Has anyone found a batch script that can swap components? I was looking at Automator to see if I could build something, but not having much luck figuring that out.

This is a feature that holds our creative agency team back from fully integrating Slides into our workflow. Designers need the option to drop reference imagery around slides outside of the presentation, but at the moment these images will move around and behave oddly. 

I am getting an error that I cannot publish a plugin to my team internally. It says "You must enable two factor authentication to publish".Our company uses  SAML SSO (Okta) for login verification so that should not be needed. I am using the Desktop App.I have received AI response from Figma to my support ticket after waiting days, and it basically could be summarized as ‘you shouldn’t be having a problem’ when I clearly am.I don’t know how to get around this so I can publish a plugin my team should be using.  

Hi everyone, We’ve been trying to publish an update to our plugin Lokaliser but have been blocked by the following message:“We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to proceed.”We reached out to Figma Support nearly 3 days ago, followed up twice, but unfortunately haven’t received any response.This update is critical for our users, and we’re currently stuck with no way to push the fix live. Has anyone experienced this issue before?Any advice or visibility into how long plugin support usually takes to respond?Would really appreciate any help or if someone from the Figma team

We’re not seeing the Export to Make button in Figma to export our library for use and testing with Figma Make. Can you help with this please?  

If this is not a secret, then I would like to ask about 2 situations: 1) is there a plan in the future for a free plan to increase number of requests per day (if I'm not mistaken, there are only 5 requests per day available for a free plan right now)?2) is there a plan in the future for a free plan to copy design from Figma Make to Figma Design?

Hi, I’m having an issue with a Figma plugin. When I try to run it, nothing happens — the plugin doesn’t start or show any results. I’ve tried restarting Figma and checking my internet connection, but it still doesn’t work.

Hi :) I am using figma with prime NG library. after adding multiple var modes I am accepting an I mark for lots ofthem’ also, some components are re changing themselves. (btns, and autocompletes and dialogs)can you please assist?  

Icon stroke width behaves as expected inside the button (it scales with the canvas). However, as soon as it’s turned into a component and the icon is swapped, the stroke resets to a default value of 2px. The frame size behaves as expected. Icon is resized using scale tool. Problem appears both ways: – creating button from scratch (works), make is a component (does not work). – creating button component with same anatomy from scratch (does not work). Detach the same component (works). Creating different sizes with variants for each icon is not an option due to the extensive icon library. Is this a bug, or what could be causing this issue?

AI and machine learning are changing the way users shop by powering personalized product recommendations, dynamic pricing, and even predictive shopping lists. For those who have implemented AI/ML in ecommerce apps — what’s the best approach?Do you recommend building custom algorithms in-house, or are third-party APIs (like TensorFlow or AWS ML services) sufficient for startups? What challenges should businesses expect when introducing personalization features at scale?

I made a project in Figma. It seems to work fine, but I want to download all the files so I can compile it into a windows exe file. However there doesn’t seem to be a way to download everything in the project. I even asked the AI to help me out and it seems to be quite irritated saying I have all the files I just now need to download them. I do want to download them, I just don’t know how. I can’t find any control that says download files. Can someone help me with this please?
