As reported by The Verge, Figma has unveiled a significant enhancement to its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This upgrade introduces support for the AI-powered application development tool, Figma Make, and incorporates remote access capabilities. By doing so, the MCP server now serves as a pivotal link between Figma's design tools and AI models. This integration empowers AI models to directly access and interpret the foundational code architecture of application development, ensuring accurate application replication.

Presently, tools like Anthropic, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code have already embraced this functionality. Looking ahead, Figma intends to expand access, enabling third-party MCP server connections in the near future.

Moreover, Figma has rolled out the Design Snapshot feature. This innovative tool transforms Make snapshots into editable layers within Figma Design, with an anticipated release set for this week. Additionally, an AI-driven design editing feature is currently undergoing testing. This cutting-edge functionality will allow users to modify designs directly on the canvas using intuitive prompts.
