Question

Figma Devmode MCP doesn't work


welsewool

I tried Figma MCP when it was presented - and everything worked perfectly, but previous week it stopped responding for most of my models, but for some it randomly gives something. Actually it doesn’t work for me as it worked previously. 
Does anyone knows what’s the issue and how to resolve?

Hi ​@welsewool, thanks for reaching out!
Could you share what error you’re seeing when it fails? even a quick screenshot or the error description can help us understand what might be going wrong.

In general, there are a few common reasons the MCP might not behave as expected.. here are some quick things to check:

  1. Selection size - does the issue happen with all selection sizes? Can you try calling the MCP on a smaller selection and see if it behaves the same?
  2. Figma <> IDE connection - can you make sure the MCP is still enabled in the Figma file you're working in, and that the tools are loading properly in your IDE?

  3. Refresh both environments - Try refreshing Figma and restarting your IDE. That often helps resolve temporary sync issues.

  4. Update Figma - Make sure you're running the latest version of the Figma desktop app.

Let us know if any of these helped, we’d be happy to help troubleshoot further!

Hi ​@Yarden K
I am trying to reach Figma via Cursor (which worked week ago) and currently I just receive that it’s a connection problem. 
I have tried all you mentioned - turning on / off, reinstalling, updating, different files, different sizes… Still no conversation between Cursor and Figma (but MCP is connected to it). 

I also tried in other IDEs and same issue.
