What your agent can do
See what's in a project
List the designs, conversations and files in a project.
Read any design
Open a design to see its code and how it was built.
Use your design system
Read your real components and tokens, and build against them.
Understand the why
Pull the reasoning behind a design from your conversations with Figr.
Search across designs
Find elements, patterns or text across a project.
Create and edit in Figr
Write access lets an agent add and change content in Figr. Changes show in the project chat and version history.
Write access is available to select organizations. Talk to us to turn it on.
Connect from a design
The fastest way in. Figr walks you through setup for your agent and gives you a starter prompt.1
Select the prototype
Click the prototype on the canvas to show its toolbar.

2
Open Export, then Open in coding agent
The Connect with coding agent window opens.

3
Pick your agent
Choose Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex or Other, and follow the steps shown. For Claude Code, the window gives you two commands to install the Figr plugin. Run both in your terminal.
4
Paste the starter prompt
Copy the starter prompt into your agent. It points the agent at this design, so it starts with the right context.
Add Figr MCP to your editor
Register the server once so your agent can reach any project you have access to. The server URL ishttps://mcp.figr.design/mcp.
- Claude Code
- Cursor
- Google Antigravity
- Other agents
Install the Figr plugin from Open in coding agent, or add the server in your terminal:
Access scopes
Your agent can only reach what your Figr account can reach.
Supported clients
Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Codex have guided setup in the Connect with coding agent window. Google Antigravity and any other agent that supports HTTP (Streamable HTTP) MCP servers can connect with the manual config above.Best practices
- Start from Open in coding agent on the design you’re building. The starter prompt keeps the agent focused on that screen.
- Attach your design system in Figr before handing off, so the agent builds with your real components.
- Review the access you’re approving before you sign in from a new agent.
