Question

generate_figma_design not available in Claude Code connector?

The generate_figma_design tool — documented as "Claude Code only, remote only" in Figma's developer docs(https://developers.figma.com/docs/figma-mcp-server/tools-and-prompts/) — is not available in my Claude Code session despite the Code to Canvas feature being officially announced on Feb 17, 2026.

 

My setup:

  - Figma MCP remote server is connected and working (all other tools like get_design_context, get_screenshot, whoami etc. work fine)

  - Full seat on a Pro tier Figma plan

  - Figma desktop app is running

  - Claude connector browser shows Figma connector version 1.0.3

 

The tool simply isn't exposed in the tool list. Is this a version/rollout issue on the connector side, or are there additional requirements to access this tool?

    Same issue here, super-frustrating to watch a bunch of tutorials where things “just work” and then at the very early phases of your own tests end up realizing you can’t seem to be able to do any of that fancy stuff for real yourself, because the tooling just is not there.

    Claude has not been able to help, it started hallusinating about generating code to be pasted into Figma’s Web Inspector view as a “solution” 😅

    Hi everyone — Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

    Thanks so much for flagging this and for sharing your experiences.

    I’ve raised this with the relevant team and will share an update here as soon as I have more information.

    In the meantime, you may want to try the workarounds shared by the community to see if they help: 

    • claude mcp add --transport http figma-remote-mcp https://mcp.figma.com/mcp
    • Disconnect / disable / unauthorize any previous connector or MCP instances

    • Restart Claude before reconnecting

    Appreciate your patience while the team looks into this.

    Had the same issue.

     

    I added “--scope user”  which works across all projects:

     

    claude mcp add --scope user --transport http figma https://mcp.figma.com/mcp

     

    Had to authenticate after this - but working now.

      I have fixed it, had to remove all the figma mcps even in cursor 
      and used 
       

      claude mcp add --transport http figma-remote-mcp https://mcp.figma.com/mcp

          This is incredibly frustrating. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to fix whatever seems to be causing the issue.
