Hi all,
My team is trying to connect Figma and GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent (not GitHub's local VSCode coding agent). Our end goal is enabling the cloud coding agent to access Figma MCP tools like “get_code”/”get_design_context”. Since there's no public plans yet on any direct connection between the two, I have questions about potential alternatives:
- Are there any plans or current capabilities for Figma MCP to support a PAT or API based authorization? This would be incredibly useful for apps that don't use Oauth like GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent.
- Or, are there any plans or current capabilities for Figma's Rest API's to access equivalents of the MCP tools like `get_design_context`?
So far, we've built our own intermediary (https://github.com/bitovi/ai-coding-agent) that handles the OAuth between Figma's MCP & GitHub's Cloud Coding Agent, and a proxy-wrapper alternative (https://github.com/bitovi/figma-mcp-proxy ), but we’re still looking to improve them and for generally better-supported options.
& for anyone else searching for similar capabilities, I also recommend following these related posts:
- (Oct 16, 2025) about connecting Figma+GitHub directly, which would be even better then the alternatives I'm asking about. https://forum.figma.com/ask-the-community-7/using-mcp-in-github-coding-agent-46367
