Figma MCP in Claude: File access broken, multiple debug UUIDs

Hi Figma Support,

I've been using the Figma MCP integration with Claude (claude.ai and claude co-work) successfully for the past few weeks, but as of today it has completely stopped working. Every tool call returns a file access error.

Plan: (Education Non-profit, Full seat)

  • Steps already tried:
  • Disconnected and reconnected Figma MCP in Claude settings multiple times
  • Revoked and re-granted access via Figma Settings → Security → Connected Apps
  • Confirmed Figma desktop app is on the latest version
  • Re-enabled MCP on the affected file
  • Verified authentication via whoami — returns correct user and plans
  • Attempted the same at different times across 3hrs.

The integration was working without issues until yesterday. No changes were made on my end.

Debug UUIDs from today's failed requests:
- 8f21fc37-d18b-454b-b8e8-9fe257cc3103
- 6313682e-0ab9-43b6-9172-1e95315f0448
- 2fa888ba-4871-48f5-8001-54605379edf9
- ece53856-5d40-460e-8cc9-32a61df6c948

Please let me know if you need anything further to investigate.

Thanks,
Kaustubh Khare

      Hey ​@Mikolaj Prus, I marked the reply as the best answer so anyone landing on this thread could quickly see we're actively investigating, not that the issue itself is resolved. I should've made that clearer.

       

      And good shout on the status page, ​@p_sp. Because this was identified and fixed quickly, we didn't update it this time around.

       

      We're still monitoring this, so if you're both still seeing the issue please do drop your details here, thanks!

          Figma 插件已安装，但所有 Figma 工具调用均失败。错误为 Figma MCP startup handshake timeout。Codex 日志中同时出现 plugin/read 503 Service Unavailable 和 habitat-429，提示 connectors 数据库请求过载。重启 Codex、重启 Figma、重新启用插件后仍可复现。请协助检查远端 Figma connector 状态及账户连接记录。2026-06-23（Asia/Shanghai）

          Subject: Figma MCP Connection Failure

          The Figma plugin is installed, but all Figma tool calls fail with:

          Figma MCP startup handshake timeout

          The Codex logs also show:

          • plugin/read 503 Service Unavailable
          • habitat-429
          • Connector database overload

          I have restarted Codex and Figma and re-enabled the plugin, but the issue persists. Please investigate the remote Figma connector status and my account’s connection record.
