Figma MCP not working

This seems like an expired token or auth. I had Claude Code “Reconnect” and things started working again with /mcp.

Just for your information, guys — in my case, when I try the /mcp endpoints using the get_code tool in VS Code, I encounter a timeout error. Other tools are working fine. Could this be related to a server-side issue?  Anyone finds a solution on this. 

This still seems broken. VSCode 1.103, fresh Figma installation, dev seat, started the MCP, get the toast that it’s running, but then see the following:

VS Code:

2025-08-19 10:31:17.945 [info] Starting server figma
2025-08-19 10:31:17.948 [info] Connection state: Starting
2025-08-19 10:31:17.949 [info] Starting server from Remote extension host
2025-08-19 10:31:17.989 [info] Connection state: Running
2025-08-19 10:31:18.062 [info] Connection state: Error Error sending message to http://127.0.0.1:3845/mcp: TypeError: fetch failed
2025-08-19 10:31:18.062 [error] Server exited before responding to `initialize` request.

Config:

    "figma": {
      // The Figma MCP server requires you to setup the local client.
      //   1. Install the rich client: https://www.figma.com/downloads/
      //   2. Login with a "Dev" account
      //   3. Enable the MCP: Upper left Figma menu -> Preferences -> "Enable Dev Mode MCP Server"
      //   4. Click start above "figma" (above this comment).
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:3845/mcp"
    }

If you nav to the endpoint in a browser, you get:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32001,"message":"Invalid sessionId"},"id":null}

Hey All, thanks for following up! 

As ​@Tom Reem mentioned previously, when you’re testing using CURL or in the browser, you’ll receive the Invalid sessionId, because you’re not passing in a session ID as a parameter. While MCP clients do allow this, it’s not designed to be used directly. Again, this is an issue on the Cursor side of things. Even if it goes red after a few minutes, it should still work.

Again, for direct one on one support with this, we encourage you to reach out to our support team directly and provide screenshots of exactly where in your MCP clients the errors are popping up: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

👍 This works for me.

This worked for me:
claude mcp add figma-dev -- npx -y figma-developer-mcp --figma-api-key=YOUR_API_KEY  --stdio  

You can generate an API_KEY in your account settings.

still does NOT work with :

For anyone still running into this issue and you are using devcontainers, here’s what fixed it for me.
Update your configuration to use the following URL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-desktop": {
      "url": "http://host.docker.internal:3845/mcp"
    }
  }
}

After making this change, everything started working properly.
Hopefully, this helps others — it’d be great if the docs included this option too!
 

Hey i have different problem when i try to establish connection to cursor

 

loading tools for infinity time,
 

"figma" : {

"url": "http://127.0.0.1:3845/mcp",

"type": "http"

}

 

This guide not working https://developers.figma.com/docs/figma-mcp-server/remote-server-installation/#vs-code

When you click authenticate it says:

OAuth app with client id 0KZQoOxn4dVQzQ8Ugdudkh doesn't exist

So remote MCP not works.

Please fix this

Same here

Figma Desktop App version 125.9.10
Version: 2.0.54 (Universal)

I’m having the issue with MCP in VScode, after authenticating the logs just show `[info] Waiting for server to respond to `initialize` request...` and printing this message constantly.

Seems like the MCP server never initializes in the VSCode even after authentication was successful…

MCP config is:

```

  "figma/mcp-server-guide": {

      "type": "http",

      "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp"

    },

```

Any ideas?

This works for me in cursor
 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Figma": {
      "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
