What is tellfigma?

**tellfigma is an open-source MCP server that gives AI assistants full read-write access to Figma.** It's the only Figma MCP that can create, edit, and delete designs — not read-only, not one-way, the real thing.

Every other Figma AI tool? Read-only. They can *look* at your designs. Cool. So can my eyes. 👀

tellfigma **writes** to Figma. Creates frames. Builds full pages. Edits properties. Takes screenshots. Inspects everything. The whole loop. Works with **Claude Desktop**, **Claude Code**, **VS Code GitHub Copilot**, **Cursor**, **Windsurf**, and any MCP-compatible AI client.

npx tellfigma

One command. No plugin. No API key. No OAuth dance.

🤔 Why does this exist?

Real talk — I had to update **hundreds of components** in Figma. Create a ton of variable options for toggles, states, themes. The kind of repetitive bulk work that makes you question your career choices at 2 AM.

So I built a script to do it. Just a quick hack — Chrome DevTools Protocol, talk to Figma's Plugin API, change everything in one shot instead of clicking 400 times.

Then I realized: wait, what if I let an AI write the code instead of me?

So I wired it up to Claude. Asked it to create a button. It created a button. Asked it to build a full settings page. It built a full settings page. Asked it to read my codebase first and match my design tokens. It did that too.

That quick hack turned into tellfigma. The
