Design and product development platform Figma has announced new AI-powered integrations that connect coding tools to its design environment, enabling designers and developers to move more seamlessly between code and visual design.
The company said it has added GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Warp, Factory, Augment Code and Fireblender as new partners to its Figma MCP Server ecosystem. The integration allows teams to convert user interface code generated by AI coding tools into editable designs on the Figma canvas and bring those designs back into code without losing context.
The expansion is designed to create a two-way workflow between design and development, allowing teams to rapidly prototype ideas in code while refining them collaboratively in Figma’s design environment.
“We’re adding more MCP partners to close the loop between code and the canvas, wherever you start,” says Dylan Field, Co-founder and CEO, Figma. He added that when AI makes it easier for anyone to build anything, they can articulate and design, which becomes the differentiator.
Through the Figma MCP Server, developers can access design content directly within their coding environments, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication between designers and developers. According to the company, this approach helps streamline the product development process by allowing teams to test ideas quickly, iterate on designs collaboratively, and avoid costly rebuilds later in development.
“The design files contain more than static visual layouts, encoding elements such as responsive design structures, interaction details and visual system rules that developers can reference while building products,” the company noted.
The new integrations build on Figma’s existing partnerships with AI coding platforms, including OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code. GitHub Copilot users can currently access the feature through Visual Studio Code, with support for Copilot CLI expected to follow.
The Figma MCP Server is available across all Figma plans and is intended to support teams in building and refining digital products regardless of whether development begins in code, design files or AI-generated prompts.
