I’ve been using figma mcp to retrieve a screenshot of my components and have recently run into an issue where it seems like it is incorrectly specifying the images media type :

```

figma - get_screenshot (MCP)(fileKey: "0omnbLjdtWHVzryhigcXZs", nodeId: "283-165840", clientLanguages: "typescript", clientFrameworks: "react")
⎿ [Image]
⎿ API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error": “type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.1.content.6.image.source.base64.data: Image does not match the provided media type image/jpeg"},"request_id":"req_011CVGog76HaLkwvz7p9LJFj"}

```

ahh yep - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/11975

They’ve attempted a fix which still seems broken but you guys can follow on their github page

Out of curiosity what model are you guys using? @Craig M. @Esteban Y.

Sonnet 4.5 here. In my case a possible issue is that the file .jpeg is actually a PNG MIME type, but the Figma MCP server is declaring it as image/jpeg

Same (again)

Thanks guys, I think this might be anthropics agent claude code. I ran this with copilot and it was fine and then I also ran the playwright mcp which is using there own screenshots and that is broken. Unless it is a coincidence that both these mcp’s broke I’m betting it is claude code. I’ll refer to their support and then comment back here with the results
