A Figma MCP server — no API key, no rate limits, just a single Go binary.

Overview

A Figma MCP server — no API key, no rate limits, just a single Go binary.

README

figma-mcp-go

A zero-cost, unlimited Figma MCP server — no API key, no rate limits, just a single Go binary.

Works with Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and any MCP-compatible AI tool.


Why this exists

Most Figma MCP servers rely on the Figma REST API.

That sounds fine… until you hit this:

Plan Limit
Starter / View / Collab 6 tool calls/month
Pro / Org (Dev seat) 200 tool calls/day
Enterprise 600 tool calls/day

If you’re experimenting with AI tools, you’ll burn through that in minutes.

I didn’t have enough money to pay for higher limits. So I built something that doesn’t use the API at all.

Setup

Watch the video:

1. Configure your AI tool

.vscode/mcp.json

{
	"servers": {
		"figma-mcp-go": {
			"type": "stdio",
			"command": "npx",
			"args": [
				"-y",
				"@vkhanhqui/figma-mcp-go"
			]
		}
	}
}

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-mcp-go": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vkhanhqui/figma-mcp-go"]
    }
  }
}

2. Install the Figma plugin

  1. In Figma Desktop: Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest
  2. Select manifest.json in the plugin.zip
  3. Run the plugin inside any Figma file
