🎥 Video Demo

Showcased almost all the features of Figma Flutter MCP with real figma design.

• English: https://youtu.be/o_GezwAlXlU
• Urdu/Hindi: https://youtu.be/mepPWpIZ61M

📝 Getting Started

You may explore the detailed getting started docs or the demo video as quick-start. As its a First Release hence there's a lot of room for improvements so you can checkout the issues to see what else there's to work or to improve.

📚 How it works | Details Here

1. Components/Widgets

• ✅ Extract Figma node data: Layout, styling, dimensions, colors, text content, etc.
• ✅ Analyze structure: Child elements, nested components, visual importance
• ✅ Provide guidance: Suggest Flutter widgets and implementation patterns
• ❌ NOT generating actual Flutter code files

2. Screens

• ✅ Extract screen metadata: Device type, orientation, dimensions
• ✅ Identify sections: Header, footer, navigation, content areas
• ✅ Analyze navigation: Tab bars, app bars, drawers, navigation elements
• ✅ Provide Scaffold guidance: Suggest Flutter screen structure
• ❌ NOT generating actual Flutter screen

Since its just helping AI write Flutter code so it means the better your prompt will be the better results you'll get.

🛠️ Usage

Following steps shows a minimal usage and setup instructions:

🔑 Figma API Key

You will need to create a Figma access token to use this server. Instructions on how to create a Figma API access token can be found here.

🏹 MCP in Cursor

Once you've the FIGMA API KEY, you can setup the MCP in cursor as follows:

1. Press CMD + Shift + P (Ctrl on Windows)
2. Type "Open MCP Settings"
3. Click on "Add new MCP"
4. Paste the below json object

MacOS/Linux

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Figma Flutter MCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "figma-flutter-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-API-KEY", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Windows

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Figma Flutter MCP": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "figma-flutter-mcp", "--figma-api-key=YOUR-API-KEY", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

NOTE: If you've installed this MCP as npm package make sure to keep it updated to latest version. Sometimes, it caches the old version and keep showing you error like "Not being able to use tool call" or "Figma API key setup is not working" etc.

🚀 Quick Start for Local Testing

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Figma API Key (Access Token)
• Cursor AI IDE with MCP support
• Flutter SDK

For quick local testing, you can run the server via HTTP instead of stdio:

# Clone and setup
git clone <your-repo-url> figma-flutter-mcp
cd figma-flutter-mcp
npm install

# Create .env file with your Figma API key
echo "FIGMA_API_KEY=your-figma-api-key-here" > .env

# Start HTTP server for local testing
npm run dev

Then add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local-figma-flutter": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3333/mcp"
    }
  }
}

See CONTRIBUTING.md for detailed instructions.

🧱 Basic Workflow

🤖 AI Coding Agent Assistance

For better results you can setup some instructions in following files as per your AI Coding Agent:

• Cursor: .cursor/rules/fluttering.mdc
• Claude: CLAUDE.md
• Gemini CLI: GEMINI.md

This way your AI agent will use the MCP's output and ensure the flutter code is as per your project requirements and structure. You can checkout an example of cursor rules that I used for testing this out.

1. Setup Theme & Typography: The most efficient way, put two frames in Figma with Theme colors and Typography samples on it. For instance:

• Figma Desktop: Select the frame and press CMD + L or Ctrl + L
• Figma Web: Select the frame and copy the URL

💡 HINT: The valid URL will contain a FILE ID and NODE ID params

"Setup flutter theme from <figma_link> including Colors and Typography.

2. Widget Generation: The most efficient way, use COMPONENTS in figma. For example:

This one has 8 variants, you may prompt whether you want to have variants or not.

"Create this widget in flutter <figma_link>, setup only 2 variants for now and break the files in smaller parts for code readability.

If you do not have COMPONENTS in figma, you can use FRAME just prompt the AI that you want this to be a widget and it will handle the rest.

3. Full Screen Generation: If there are any IMAGE ASSETS available, it will export them and put them in assets/ along with pubspec.yaml

"Create full screen from this figma link <figma_link>, ensure the code is readable by having smaller files

4. Assets Export:

• Image Assets: Will work automatically when generating screens

"Export this image asset from figma <figma_link>

• SVG Assets: Will NOT work automatically, explained below.

"Export this as an SVG asset from Figma: <figma_link>

⚠️ Why SVG assets don’t work with screen generation

clarify that vectors include icons and pen-tool shapes, so bulk exports may grab unintended nodes; recommend exporting SVGs separately. This process still saves you a lot of time by exporting them in your assets/svg/ directory and updating your pubspec.yaml.

🧰 MCP Tools

Assets related:

• export_flutter_assets: Individual tool for image assets used with Screen generation
• export_svg_flutter_assets: Individual tool for SVG assets export

Widget related:

• analyze_figma_component: For type=COMPONENT in figma or FRAME prompted by user
• list_component_variants: For type=COMPONENT_SET in figma (Widget variants)
• inspect_component_structure: For nested COMPONENTS or FRAMES

Full screen related:

• analyze_full_screen: type=FRAME for full screen and assets export (image only)
• inspect_screen_structure: For layouts and other information for building screen

⚠️ Disclaimers

• Figma Design: Since we're using Figma's API to fetch the node and its details, so the better design you have the more better it will interpret for the AI to consume i.e. auto layouts, frame usage over group usage, consistently aligned across the board.
• Use Case: At this stage, its highly recommend to NOT use it to develop scalable apps rather try and play it with MVPs, smaller and explanatory tasks.
• Rate limiting: Heavy usage may trigger Figma rate limits (e.g., HTTP 429). The server includes retry with backoff, but it does not bypass Figma limits. If you encounter rate limits, wait a few minutes and reduce the request volume.

🙌🏼 Acknowledgments

I came across Figma Context MCP by Graham Lipsman that sparks this motivation for me to develop Figma to Flutter explicitly having features like:

• Assets exports
• Colors and Theme setups
• Widget tree and full screen building

Others coming soon...

🧱 Other framworks

If you want to develop this for React, Angular, React Native, Vue or any other framework. I've added a detailed doc Figma Framework MCP that you can explore and get started. Meanwhile I'll maintain a list here if someone's already doing this for framework specific Figma's MCP servers.
