Figma limits its hosted MCP server to catalog-listed clients
2026-10-01Verified announcementWATCH
Figma documents that only clients listed in its MCP Catalog may connect to the hosted Figma MCP server. Developers of new clients must join a waitlist. The current catalog includes Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Xcode beta and VS Code.
What this means for you
For teams integrating design tools through MCP, protocol compatibility alone does not guarantee hosted access. Client allowlisting creates a product-level dependency that must be checked before choosing the hosted path.
