Figma: MCP server now covers Slides, FigJam, Make, and the Figma agent
Figma published a blog post on June 16 describing how its own teams are using the MCP server and announcing that the server now extends to Figma Slides, FigJam, Make, and the native Figma agent. The original launch covered design files and Dev Mode; this update adds the ability to drive Figma’s broader product surface through external agents and AI tools.
What was added
Custom font support means the MCP server now renders typography using fonts that are uploaded to a Figma organization, rather than falling back to web-safe approximations. For teams with specific typefaces tied to a brand system, this removes a significant visual mismatch between design intent and agent-generated output.
Downloadable assets is a new tool within the server that allows exporting JPG, SVG, and PDF files directly from a Figma file. Previously, assets had to be exported manually and passed to an external system; they can now be pulled by an agent as part of a larger workflow.
Xcode compatibility allows mobile designs to be read by Apple’s development environment, creating a path from Figma canvas to iOS preview without a manual handoff step.
Four use cases from Figma’s own teams
The post describes how different roles inside Figma are using the expanded server. Design advocates use agents to refresh presentation decks in Figma Slides by pulling content from Slack threads, Google Drive documents, and blog posts while keeping the brand typography and structure intact. Product managers use custom integrations with Asana, Notion, and Hex to auto-generate FigJam workshop boards populated with live project data. Product designers move fluidly between visual editing in Make and code, pushing changes to production pull requests without leaving the Figma environment. Separately, PMs bring code-only screens onto the canvas as editable components, then refine them with the Figma agent.
Why this matters
The expansion changes what kinds of agents can interact with Figma. Previously, the MCP server was most useful to developers working at the design-to-code boundary. Adding Slides and FigJam means the server is now also useful for teams that produce presentations and facilitate workshops — work that has historically sat outside the design system entirely. The asset download capability in particular opens up pipelines where generated visuals need to flow into publishing or marketing systems without a human in the loop for each export.
