Token-based authentication and MCP

We need to connect to the Figma MCP from Cursor. The current integration uses OAuth; we would prefer to authenticate with Access Token

  • Is there an official or recommended MCP solution from Figma that supports token-based authentication?

Hi ​@Abdüssamed Tezer 👋 Thanks for reaching out. This is a valid request and one that has come up before — Support for PAT (Personal Access Token) based auth in Figma remote MCP

Right now, Figma supports OAuth authentication only for the Figma Remote MCP Server. We don't support Personal Access Tokens or plan tokens for MCP at this time. I do not have an official or recommended MCP solution outside of the OAuth flow. Currently, I do not have an additional roadmap or timeline to share.

For Cursor, you'll need to go through the standard OAuth flow: developers.figma.com/docs/figma-mcp-server/remote-server-installation

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. – Jaycee
