Hi!

For approximately over a month now, I have been experiencing connection issues between Visual Studio Code and Figma via MCP.

It used to work perfectly, but suddenly I was no longer able to establish a connection. When starting the MCP server, Visual Studio Code gives me the following response:
 

2026-09-08 09:06:34.389 [info] Connection status: Running

2026-09-08 09:06:48.793 [info] Connection status: Error 401 status sending message to https://mcp.figma.com/mcp: Unauthorized

 

The error reference I received is: 7d2e4051-a212-4c46-9ecf-c8b3dc36c863

Could you please help me find a solution?
