Figma MCP problem

I want to use figma mcp. your direction says to click "Enable desktop MCP server" but no such button exists. I only see “connect to AI agent”. I need the desktop MCP to connect my figma to Bezi. I’m thoroughly frustrated

Thanks for your post, ​@Aaron Okafor. I understand why you are frustrated, and it looks like the help article may need an update. 

 

The desktop MCP server is still available. In the Figma desktop app, open a Design file, open Quick Actions, and search for Enable desktop MCP server. Once you’ve enabled the local MCP server, its local address is http://127.0.0.1:3845/mcp. Keep Figma open while using the connection. 

 

Also, we strongly recommend using the Figma remote MCP server which supports Figma’s latest MCP capabilities including tools not available through the desktop MCP server. You can use the local server, of course, but I wanted to make you aware that depending on what you want to do you might want to use the remote server instead.
