Hi, I’m not able to view the MCP server integration option in the Figma Desktop app in Preferences on Mac ow Windows, I am a paid professional (full Seat), pls see screenshot, I have the latest version of the desktop app also, please advise what I may be missing?

 

 

Hi ​@aktx2025,

 

I understand you're unable to find the "Enable Dev Mode MCP Server" option under Preferences in your Figma Desktop app (on both Mac and Windows), despite being on a paid Professional plan with the latest app version. 

 

It's possible that the file you're working on is located in a Drafts folder or a Starter team, which would prevent this option from appearing.

Could you please confirm that the file in question is placed within a Professional team and not in a “Drafts” folder?

 

Thanks,


Hi,

I had the same problem. On MacOS, the app has 2 Figma menus.

The first one, labeled “Figma”, in the classic upper Mac menu bar, with the “Settings” sub-menu, which doesn't have the Enable MCP option.
The second one is the Figma Logo menu within the app’s window, with the “Preferences” sub-menu, which has the same options as Settings, plus “Enable MCP”.

Very confusing, indeed.
