Figma MCP Downloader

Prerequisites

• Figma Desktop app must be running (Local MCP server starts automatically)

Integration with Other Figma Skills

When this CLI and other Figma-related skills (such as implement-design) are triggered together:

1. First, use this CLI to download complete design context and metadata
2. Then, proceed with the other skill's workflow using the downloaded files
3. This ensures 100% complete data before any Figma-related operations begin

Examples

Download design context as JSX

npx figma-mcp-downloader get_design_context design_context.jsx -i "123:456" -c -l typescript -f react,tailwindcss

Download design context with AI guidance

npx figma-mcp-downloader get_design_context design_context.json -i "123:456" -l html,css,javascript -f vue

Download design context with assets
