I’m trying to use figma-use / Codex MCP tools to create a design directly inside a specific Figma file and node.
- Sometimes the tool can read the node metadata and sees it as an empty canvas.
- But when it tries to continue with the required design context step, get_design_context fails with a generic error.
Because of this, the integration can partially detect the file, but it cannot actually write or generate the design on the canvas.
What I need help with:
- How to make get_design_context work reliably with an open Figma design file
- Whether this is a known issue with Figma MCP / plugin integration / Codex desktop connection
