@neilsarjal09/figma-dev-mode-bridge
Local MCP bridge for the Dev Mode in Design Figma plugin.
Lets native AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, OpenAI Codex) read and write the current Figma file through your running plugin session — no Figma OAuth, no PAT setup, no chat UI.
Install
npx @neilsarjal09/figma-dev-mode-bridge setupThis:
- Starts a local relay on
127.0.0.1:9011. - Registers an MCP server entry named
figma-dev-mode-bridgein whichever AI client configs it finds (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex). - Prints next steps.
Then in the Figma plugin: open MCP → Settings (gear icon) and toggle Enable bridge on. The dot turns green when the plugin reaches the relay.
Commands
figma-dev-mode-bridge setup # configure host AI tools + start relay

figma-dev-mode-bridge stop # stop daemon
figma-dev-mode-bridge status # is the relay running?

Default port is 9011 (vs the figma-intelligence relay's 9001). The MCP server-config key is figma-dev-mode-bridge (not figma-intelligence-layer). Both packages can be installed side-by-side.
