    Hi, ​@shadab.ahmad 👋 Thanks for posting this for Yonatan! To help me track down the issue, could you get a few details from him?

    • Which client is he connecting from? (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) Supported list here: Guide to the Figma MCP server

    • What exactly happens when he connects? Auth error, "invalid token," timeout, or does Figma never show up as a server option?

    • His seat/plan? The remote server is available on all seats and plans, while the desktop server requires a Dev or Full seat on a paid plan

    • Does he have access to the specific file he's trying to reach (not just a general seat)?

    • If possible, ask him to run the whoami MCP tool and share the output, plus a quick unzoomed screen recording of the failure

    Thanks! — Jaycee
