 Why getting this error as Figma MCP says for get_screenshot read only access is needed.


Figma [get_screenshot]
OUT

Looks like you don't have edit access to this file. The file owner can share it with you and make you an editor.

Hey ​@Shubham Patel 👋 Thanks for flagging this. Let’s dig in together. 

I have a request and a few questions to help narrow things down:

  • Run whoami and share the output 
  • Which plan/team does the file actually live in? (Where is the file is parented?) 
  • Remote or desktop MCP server? 
  • To confirm, you have edit (not just view) access on that specific file? My gut says the error is generic and not MCP specific in this case

Talk soon! — Jaycee
