name: figma-integration description: Official Figma Developer MCP integration for QuanuX. Allows agents to inspect designs, extract variables, and generate code from Figma files. metadata: version: 1.0.0 author: Figma / QuanuX priority: 50

Figma Integration (MCP)

This skill provides access to the Figma Developer MCP Server, allowing you to read design data, inspect layers, and extract code snippets directly from Figma files.

Protocol Enforcement (CRITICAL)

When using this tool to generate code, you MUST adhere to the following QuanuX Standards:

1. Read the Rules: Before generating any code, you MUST read client/skills/react-frontend-standards/SKILL.md.
2. Understand Data Layer: Read docs/ARCHITECTURE_DATA_LAYER.md to map data needs to the correct transport (API vs Stream).
3. Server-Side Logic: Figma designs often imply client-side logic. REJECT THIS. All business logic must reside on the server.
4. No Mock Data: Do not generate components with hardcoded mock data arrays. Request backend models instead.
5. Tech Stack: Output must use Tailwind CSS and Shadcn UI (Radix) components.

Prerequisites

• Secret: QUANUX_figma must be set via quanuxctl secrets set figma.
• Status: Extension must be running (quanuxctl ext start figma).

Tools

The following tools are exposed by the underlying figma-developer-mcp server:

get_design_context

Retrieves detailed design context for a specific layer or selection. Use this to understand the structure and properties of a component.

get_code

Extracts code (e.g. React/Tailwind) from a Figma selection or URL.

• Input: Figma URL or Selection ID.
• Output: Code map and implementation details.

get_variable_defs

Returns the design tokens (variables) and styles used within a selection. Essential for adhering to the Design System.

get_metadata

Returns a simplified XML representation of the selection (IDs, names, types, positions). Light-weight structural analysis.

get_screenshot

Captures a visual screenshot of the selection. useful for multi-modal analysis.

create_design_system_rules

Generates a rule file (context) to help translate designs into code that matches the project's existing design system.

whoami

Returns the identity of the authenticated Figma user.

Usage Example

To get code for a specific button:

1. Use get_metadata to find the node ID of the button (or use a direct URL).
2. Call get_code with that ID.
3. Use get_variable_defs to ensure you are using the correct color tokens.
