Hi Figma team,
I'm reaching out with a request on behalf of several developers on our team who use Linux as their primary development environment.
Currently, the MCP (Multi-Context Preview) feature is locked behind the Figma desktop app, which is only available for macOS and Windows. This poses a challenge for Linux developers who are unable to access or use MCP due to the lack of a supported desktop app.
We’d love to see one of the following:
-
A Linux version of the Figma desktop app to unlock parity across development environments.
-
An alternative way to run an MCP server without the desktop app, such as a standalone CLI or server binary that can be installed independently.
This would greatly improve the development experience and make Figma’s workflow more accessible to cross-platform teams.
Thanks for considering this request!
