I know we can use https://mcp.figma.com/mcp in editors like (VS Code)

Is it possible to add the MCP server to the GitHub coding agent, like….

https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO/settings/copilot/coding_agent 

Settings → Copilot → Coding agent → MCP configuration


Example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp",
      "tools": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

I tried that, the Copilot got problem with the auth… or how can we do?

So my team can open an issue and use Figma urls as a reference in the GitHub issue.

Not possible right?

Hi Johnjohnjohn, thanks for reaching out on the Figma Forum!
I can see that you’ve already been in touch with our support team, and they’ve followed up with you directly.

I’m sharing their response here as well, so others in the community with the same question can find it more easily.

Figma does offer a remote MCP server at https://mcp.figma.com/mcp. However, the Figma MCP server is currently in open beta and supports various code editors including VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code, listed in our MCP Catalog. (read more)
 
To use the MCP Server, you'll need a code editor and it is not supported in GitHub Settings -> Coding agent.

Are there any plans to support Github Copilot? It does not currently support oauth as far as I know.

Until copilot cloud agents could support or "two-legged OAuth," or "2LO” for service accounts, we will need an alternate mechanism, such as non-interactive auth (PAT or API key) mechanism.
