Devign Figma Mcp — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Devign Figma Mcp (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets any AI model create, read, and edit Figma designs in real time. Not limited to Claude - works with OpenAI, Gemini, local models, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

└──────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────────┘The MCP server exposes 40 design tools to the AI. The Figma plugin runs inside your open Figma file and executes commands on the canvas via the Plugin API. Communication flows over a local WebSocket — no cloud services, no API keys, everything runs on your machine.
git clone <this-repo>
cd devign-figma-mcp
npm install
npm run buildpackages/figma-plugin/manifest.json and select itYou'll see the plugin panel with a connection status dot. It will show red/Disconnected until you start the MCP server.
npm startThe plugin dot should turn green/Connected. You're ready to go.
#### Claude Code / Claude Desktop
Add to your MCP config (~/.claude.json or Claude Desktop settings):
{
"mcpServers": {
"devign": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/devign-figma-mcp/packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}#### Cursor / VS Code
Add to .cursor/mcp.json or VS Code MCP settings:
{
"servers": {
"devign": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/devign-figma-mcp/packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}#### Any HTTP-capable Client (OpenAI, Gemini, custom apps)
Start the server in HTTP mode:
DEVIGN_TRANSPORT=http npm startThen point your client to:
POST http://127.0.0.1:3100/mcpGET http://127.0.0.1:3100/healthThis uses the Streamable HTTP transport from the MCP spec, compatible with any client that supports it.

AI clients that support MCP resources can read these directly:
| Resource | URI | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Current Page | figma://current-page | Live node tree of the open page |
| Selection | figma://selection | Currently selected nodes |
| Styles | figma://styles | All local paint, text, effect, grid styles |
| Variables | figma://variables | Variable collections and design tokens |
| Components | figma://components | Components on the current page |
Guided workflows the AI can use:
| Prompt | Description |
|---|---|
create-screen | Build a full page/screen from a description |
build-design-system | Set up variables, styles, and tokens from scratch |
audit-accessibility | Check contrast, text sizes, and touch targets |
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
DEVIGN_TRANSPORT | stdio | Transport mode: stdio or http |
DEVIGN_WS_PORT | 3055 | WebSocket port for plugin connection |
DEVIGN_WS_TIMEOUT | 15000 | Command timeout in ms |
DEVIGN_HTTP_PORT | 3100 | HTTP server port (when DEVIGN_TRANSPORT=http) |
When the plugin is running in Figma, you'll see:
The plugin auto-reconnects if the server restarts. Keep it open while working.
