How to Install Figma MCP Server in Cursor
Follow up on the issues we had during today's Cursor event. I figured it out! It's actually super simple.
- Remote MCP server: available for ALL users.
- Desktop MCP server: available ONLY on a Dev or Full seat for all paid plans AND requires you to install the Figma desktop app. The server will run locally.
So firstly, you need to check which Figma plans & seats you are on. If you're not on a Dev or full seat, you cannot setup the Desktop MCP server. (and you're limited to "up to 6 tool calls per month" 🫠)
🔶 Setting up the server:
- REMOTE server setup: https://developers.figma.com/docs/figma-mcp-server/remote-server-installation/#cursor. It only takes **4 clicks**!!
- DESKTOP server setup: https://developers.figma.com/docs/figma-mcp-server/local-server-installation/#cursor. It's quite straightforward too.
Once you're done, you should see in your "Cursor settings" that it's turned on and the indicator is green. I attached a screenshot of my Cursor.
🔶 Lessons learned:
- Documentation is your friend 😀 It saves you from headaches.
- Don't let Cursor to mess up your settings...DIY is faster.
