Same for me. Yesterday it worked with the free version. Today with a pro full seat Claude is complaining:

 

I have to be honest with you: even after the full fresh OAuth on a Full seat, the server still isn't advertising use_figma. The reconnected set is create_new_file, generate_diagram, get_design_context, get_metadata, get_screenshot, get_variable_defs, get_figjam, the Code Connect tools, and whoami — every read tool plus file-create, but the canvas editor is absent (so are its AI siblings generate_figma_design / search_design_system).

It was there at the very start of this session and I used it. The fact that it consistently won't come back — across seat upgrade, re-auth, app relaunch, and a clean reconnect — tells me it's gated at the account/AI-feature level (your "AI credits" note fits: these are Figma's AI-powered write tools). That's not something I can flip from here.

I'm not going to send you through another auth loop. Since you now have a Full seat, you can make these edits directly in the Figma UI

Hey both, thanks for reaching out and flagging this!

I’m stepping in on behalf of ​@Celyn_L to help here. This is something our team is actively looking into right now.

We don't have a fix or timeline to share just yet, but I'll keep this thread updated as soon as we have more information.

Really appreciate your patience while we work through it!

The generate tool lives on the remote endpoint, not the local one. The local address hosts only the read tools; write tools come through the remote connection. If your connector is pointed at the local address, that's why the generate tool isn't showing up. In Claude Code, check which URL your Figma connector is using in MCP settings and switch to the remote one if needed. You'll also need Dev Mode on your Figma plan and to be signed in so the auth flow can complete. If you're already on the remote endpoint and still don't see it, try removing and recreating the connector rather than editing in place. Did switching endpoints help?
