# Figma MCP

Reads designs out of Figma and writes them back in. Agents get real node data and screenshots instead of my description of them.

## What it is
The official Figma MCP server: agents read real design context — node structure, tokens, screenshots — straight from my files, and can write designs back in. It replaces me describing a design with the agent seeing the actual thing.

## Why
Describing a design to an agent loses exactly the details that matter. Reading the real file — node data, actual values, screenshots — removes the retelling step where fidelity dies.

## How Andrew uses it
Read-heavy by default: design context and screenshots ground implementation work, and my résumé pages live in Figma with the repo mirroring them. Writes are deliberate and explicit — an agent never edits a Figma frame unless I asked for that write in the current message, because version history won't always save you.

## How to get it
Add the Figma MCP server to your client and authenticate with your Figma account. Read tools are safe to use freely; treat writes as privileged.
