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 everyone - hoping someone can help or confirm whether this is expected behaviour.I have a parent component with children (radio option, list item) all set to Fill for horizontal resizing. The parent frame uses auto-layout.What I expect: When I insert an instance from the Assets panel into a frame set to auto-layout, the instance should fill the container — matching the resizing properties I set in the parent component.What actually happens: Instances inserted from the Assets panel come in at a fixed width. I have to manually set each one to "Fill container" every time.                                                                                        The confusing part: If I drag the same component directly from the canvas into the frame, it does fill correctly. So  the behaviour exists — it just doesn't carry over when inserting from Assets.My questions:     1. Is this expected behaviour, or a bug?  2. Has anyone found a workaround to make instances from the Assets panel defaul

Y’all, how can I connect Stripe, so my desktop app made with Figma Make can collect payment? Is it even possible? I have wasted an entire month of credits prompting, time watching videos, and even more time on Code Mentoring sites looking for help to try to figure out how to get this app to accept a payment. I dont want to leave Figma, but I fear this is my only recourse, if I want to collect payment for this app. I am sure, I am missing something but I cannot figure out what/

I want to duplicate a Make file to start at version 1 and not show all of the previous versions of the original. How do I do this? 

Hi, I was first time on monthly workshop for Figma Education (AI toolbox) last Friday 17.04.26, there were links in the chat to youtube channel where we can find recorded session, but suddenly i can’t find it. I am and educator, and would like to go through video again, but not sure how long it will take to appear on youtube, or if I will get a link to recorded session by email.. Can you tell me please how does it work?

Hi everyone,I submitted my first Figma plugin for review on March 6th, and its status is still showing as "Under Review." I know Figma generally suggests a 5–10 business day window, but I wanted to check with the developer community here to see if anyone else is experiencing longer-than-usual wait times recently?A few details about the submission: Submission Date: March 6, 2026 Plugin Link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1611736909703003655/magic-cards I’ve double-checked my email and spam folder to ensure I haven’t missed any clarification requests from the review team, but I haven't received anything yet.Does the review team usually reach out if there’s a delay, or should I just sit tight until the 10-business-day mark? Any advice from seasoned plugin creators would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance,Vipin

Hi Figma team,I submitted my plugin 文本搜索替换工具 (Text Replace Pro) for review about a month ago, and it's still showing "In review" status.Plugin link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1614127567153066460/text-replace-proSubmitted: approximately March 20, 2026I understand the team is experiencing high submission volume right now — I've seen similar reports from other developers on the forum. I just wanted to check in and see if there's any update, or if there's anything on my end I should address.Thank you for your time and for all the work you do reviewing community submissions. Really appreciate it! 🙏

EDIT: Slots does keep hug auto layout just not fill. thats the one i want ve started playing with the new Slots feature. it looks quite interesting but ive got quite the glaring issue that wont make it easy to continue using.This is my methodcreate component - fill horizontal hug vertical (lives in a variant component with fix)create another component - fixed horizontal hug verticalframe inside - fill horizontal hug verticalconvert that frame to slotadd the first component as a preferred component/slotWhen i take a instance of the component with the slot inside i go to add a slot preferred component.this gets added but this is a crucial issue - that instance inside the slot does not keep the auto layout “fill” on the horizontal plane. it does for the vertical tho.  this isnt too much of a bother for myself but i have other members of staff that might not do this every time. leading to broken layouts. especially if we start using components that some should have fill and some should hav

I’m building a portfolio website and I would like to create a button to download a pdf file directly from the website, not from a sharing platform like Google Drive. I want the users to be able to get the file in 1 click without going through other websites.Is there a way to achieve that?

Hi Figma team,I currently have 7 plugins that are still in the “In Review” status. The longest one has been waiting for about 1.5 months, and the others have also been pending for several weeks.I understand that plugin reviews can take time, but this delay has made it difficult to plan releases, update users, and continue improving these plugins. I haven’t received any clear update or feedback, so I’d like to ask if the team could please check my submissions and let me know whether there is anything blocking the review process.If possible, I would really appreciate a status update or any escalation so the reviews can move forward.Thank you for your time and support.

Olá a todos.Estou perguntando a respeito de um problema que quero resolver rapidamente e por isso o valor não importa. Tem algum ser humano que consegue assumir moralmente que tem o conhecimento avançado ou total, em algum software existente? Estou procurando e contratando. Podem colaborar? Não importa, é qualquer um! quero me especializar e pago por isso! principalmente o figma!Existe algum humano que domina o Figma totalmente? Digo completamente e que tem a segurança de afirmar que é avançado nessa ferramenta? Se tiver paciência e poder me ensinar a lidar total e de forma completa dominar essa ferramenta, pago por isso, o valor que for necessário. Mas prestem atenção, a pergunta é honesta, é para ensinar totalmente, ou seja, saber, compreender e executar todas as funções do software todas as funções que o software oferece? Insisto, completamente, tudo?!!!! Existe alguém?Agradeço a atenção.Cocu

tem algum ser humano que frequenta essa comunidade? ou tudos vocês são realidaes virtuais que representam o exato instante? Porém insista tem algum humano que sabe alguma ferramenta de design para dizer que o conhecimento é avançado?

Hi guysim working with figma from several months.what i can see recently is that while my work and my behaviour with figma AI has been like before, i can see that my credits will be finish/full very fast.just today i bought 1000 credits, and just after several hours my credits finished now!!.as i said what im doing in chat and what the AI is doing is the same as it was before, and nothing is not new.so, i wanted to know if figma increased its prices (in high level as i can see it), without announce it?And the initial purchase and membership was like showing me the door to a green garden because now I have to constantly charge it to continue working?Have you encountered this situation recently?

Hello,I accidentally deleted my Figma account because I misunderstood and thought I entered my university email address incorrectly. I simply wanted to delete it and re-register with the same correct email.Now I cannot create a new account with my university email. The system says “your request has failed” .My university email: [redacted by moderator to remove personal information]How long do I need to wait before I can reuse this email to create a new account? Or is there any way to release it sooner?Thank you for your help.

I’m building a public Community plugin that integrates with POEditor. I need a reliable way to identify the current Figma file (file key/ID) so I can associate exported/imported translations with the correct file. This is important because text node IDs are not globally unique across files, so the same node ID can exist in different files.From the docs, it looks like figma.fileKey is only available to private plugins via enablePrivatePluginApi. Is there any supported way for a public plugin to access the current file key/ID (or another stable file identifier)?If this isn’t possible today, what’s the recommended best practice for public plugins that need to associate data with a specific file?Details: Plugin type: public (intended for Community) Use case: linking file -> POEditor project What I’ve tried: figma.fileKey (undefined in a public plugin) Ideal outcome: Send POEditor the text node id (or name) plus a stable file identifier as context. Thanks!

Hi!Thanks to my university I have had access to figma and have used it a lot over the degree of ideation, designs and prototypes. I will be graduating this summer so will lose access to the account and wondered if there is anyway to export these files so I can keep my work? Ideally exporting as a file I can keep secure on a USB but if there is any other way that’d be great too! I just don’t want to lose my work! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!!!

Hi Figma Support Team,Requesting urgent help!!I accidentally deleted one of my Figma files, and it was also removed from the Trash. but I wanted to check if it is possible to restore it from your server-side backups.As unfortunately by mistake it was clicked- ‘ permanently delete’ from trash. and i was so much frosted to get it back.I had already contact figma from the link but didn't get single response from figma support team. And sometimes they put it into solved without solving that was surprise me is it good support ! which i didn't expect.Here are the details: File Name:- Homepage 2026 Ticket Number -  #1860928 File URL    Date & Time When File Was Deleted:- 20th April 2026 after 7 PM IST This file is very important for my ongoing project.Please let me know if there's any chance to recover it.Waiting for team figma to get back me as soon as possible with recover my file link.

I need a single line of text to fit within a container without wrapping, breaking the boundary, or truncating. I need the text to get smaller when it gets too long to fit, either by reducing font size or overall scale. The text is dynamic, so I can’t reliably tell how long it will be to pick an ideal font size. Things I’ve tried: Standard left and right with top and bottom constraints, but if the text becomes too long, it wraps and breaks the boundary or truncates. Using text auto width with scale constraints, but the text just grows outside the boundary. Using text auto width then wrapping it with an auto layout, thinking the layout could hug the text and use scale constraints to get smaller, but hug resizing and scale constraints are mutually exclusive. Is there any way to do this dynamically?

New here so this might be a silly question. I’m trying to make a multi page app using figma make. After creating the first page, I can’t seem to find a way to move on to another page. Is this possible or do I have to create each one separately. Any ideas on ways of doing this?

I'm building a web app in Figma Make and trying to set a custom favicon. I've tried two approaches so far: Adding <link rel="icon"> tags directly to index.html — but a favicon diagnostic tool confirms these tags aren't appearing in the served HTML, suggesting Figma Make generates its own HTML wrapper that overrides index.html. Placing favicon files in the /public folder — the diagnostic tool confirms /public files ARE served (it found favicon.ico at the root), but I can only create text-based files through the Figma Make code editor, not upload binary .png or .ico files. Is there a supported way to upload a custom binary favicon (PNG or ICO) to a Figma Make project? Or is there a way to make custom <link> tags in index.html pass through to the served HTML? Any workarounds welcome. Thanks!

Hi,I submitted a plugin for review in March. The plugin is called Simple Image, and I still haven't received any feedback or status update.I'm reaching out because I'm not very clear on what the current review timeline looks like. There seems to be some variation in how long reviews take, so I wanted to check whether there is any general waiting period I should expect.Is there currently any system for status tracking, estimated queue times, or anything similar? Even a simple note such as "reviews are currently taking approximately X days" on the submission page would be very helpful.I'm also wondering whether this is a common situation, or if my submission may need additional attention.Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.Best regards

Hi everyone,I’m facing an issue where my Figma file is stuck on “Application is being restored” and not loading at all. I also received the error “Couldn't fetch this version.”This started after using multiple AI-generated versions in the same file. Now the latest versions won’t open, and it’s blocking my work.I’ve already tried:Hard refresh Incognito mode Different browser and networkI’ve also contacted **Figma support and shared file access.Has anyone experienced this before?Any workaround to recover the file or prevent this issue?Thanks in advance 

Hi Figma Team and CommunityI would like to inquire about the review status of my plugin（FontConversion）, which was submitted for review on March 20, 2026.It has been almost a month (approx. 20 business days) and the status is still showing as "In Review." I haven't received any emails regarding rejections or requests for changes yet.I understand there might be a high volume of submissions lately, but I wanted to make sure my submission didn't fall through the cracks, as the typical timeline is 5–10 business days.

Curious how others handle this, when you need to send a large batch of exported assets, final screens, or a full brand kit to a client who doesn't use Figma, Drive, or Dropbox, what do you actually do?Email is obviously out for anything above a few MB. I've tried WeTransfer but the free limit is too low for video prototypes and full export sets. Asking clients to sign up for yet another tool is always awkward.What I've been using lately is TransferSecure (transfersecure.ai), 5 GB free, recipient doesn't need an account, and you get a notification when they've actually downloaded it, which helps for following up. Has password protection too for sensitive brand assets.But curious if others have found better solutions or if there's a workflow inside Figma itself I'm missing.

I can do that, but I still can’t see the Figma design contents from the link in this environment. Please send one of these so I can recreate it accurately:
