How to connect Figma to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot

Step by step, for each AI app

Figma MCP connector for Claude

  1. 1

    Open Customize, then Connectors.

  2. 2

    Press Add.

  3. 3

    Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in and approve.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves.

Figma MCP connector for Claude Code

  1. 1

    In a terminal, run claude mcp add with the endpoint.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  2. 2

    Start Claude Code and run /mcp.

  3. 3

    Pick elaichi, then sign in and approve in the browser.

Terminal

$ claude mcp add --transport http elaichi --scope user https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

Use --scope project instead to share it with the repository through .mcp.json.

Figma MCP connector for ChatGPT

  1. 1

    Open Plugins, then press the + button.

  2. 2

    Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elaichi": {
      "url": "https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp"
    }

Server URL
https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
Authentication
OAuth 2.0
Type
Dynamic discovery

Microsoft Copilot was called Microsoft 365 Copilot. Keep the tool on end-user credentials, so each person signs in as themselves.

Connect Figma to any MCP client

The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up.

What teams do with Figma through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Figma is logged.

  • Design

    Read the comment thread before a review

    Ask for every open comment on a file and who left it, then walk into the review already knowing where the disagreements are.

  • Product

    Leave feedback without opening the file

    Post a comment on a specific frame in Figma from Claude while writing the spec, and react to a teammate's comment to show it has been seen.

  • Engineering

    Find the right component before building

    Look up a component or component set by name, read its description, and confirm which file it lives in so the build matches the library.

  • Brand

    Check a page against the style library

    Pull the team's color and text styles from Figma and compare them with what a landing page or deck is actually using.

  • Design ops

    See what changed in a file this week

    List a file's version history and the team's recent activity in Figma to catch up after time away or prepare a weekly update.

  • Marketing

    Grab a frame for the launch post

    Ask for an image of a named frame in Figma and drop it into release notes or a campaign brief without exporting by hand.

Try asking

  • “List the files in our Design System project.”
  • “Show unresolved comments on the checkout flow file.”
  • “Which components changed in this file since last week?”

For IT and engineering

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Figma

All three can connect Figma to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Elaichi compared with Zapier MCP and Composio for Figma, by what to check
What to check Elaichi Zapier MCP Composio
Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Figma tools Allow or restrict single Figma tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Figma call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.
Single sign-on SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. SAML on Enterprise. SAML and OIDC on Enterprise.
Price Free for one person; $15 per user per month on Gold. 2 tasks per successful call. Billed per tool call.

Sources: Zapier MCP docs, security, usage; Composio docs, gateway, enterprise, pricing. Checked September 2026.

Longer take: Zapier MCP alternative and when you don't need an MCP gateway.

Figma tools for your AI agents

55 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Figma, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.

Questions, answered

How do I connect Figma to Claude?

Connect Figma in Elaichi first, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Figma asks each company to register its own OAuth application inside Figma, so an administrator brings a client ID and secret once when setting up the connector in Elaichi. After that, each person simply approves access in the normal Figma sign-in window and nobody else handles a credential.

Does Figma work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Figma is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Figma once and every client your team uses can reach it.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Figma files?

An agent can browse your Figma teams, projects, and files, read the comments on a file, list version history and recent activity, and look up components, component sets, and styles from your libraries. It can also fetch an image of a frame, post a comment, and add or remove a reaction. Short, specific asks such as "list open comments on the checkout file" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Figma give the AI access to every file in my workspace?

No. Access follows the person who signed in, so the agent only sees the Figma teams, projects, and files that person can already open. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never widen access beyond what Figma itself allows that person.

Can my team share one Figma connection?

Yes. One person connects Figma in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, so nobody else has to register an application or touch a client secret. Each teammate still signs in to Figma as themselves, so their own permissions apply and the audit log names the actual person behind every comment or lookup.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Figma?

Yes. In Figma the connector can only create and delete comments and reactions, and each of those actions can be restricted separately in Elaichi. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a Figma connection when someone leaves the company?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Figma through every AI client at once. If they connected Figma and shared it with a team, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Figma once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client at the same time.

Does the Figma MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Figma is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Figma?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Figma. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Figma call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Figma?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Figma: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
