| description | TRIGGER when implementing UI from a Figma design, link, or file key — use the figma-bridge MCP (free-plan safe), never the raw API or palugada design for node content. |
Figma → code (free-plan safe)
The Figma Starter plan allows ~6 file-content fetches per file per month.
The figma-bridge MCP server caches the whole file on the FIRST fetch — every
later query is local and free. Workflow:
figma_get_design with the Figma URL — first call spends 1 budget slot,
everything after is served from cache (source: "cache").- Drill in for free:
figma_find_nodes (locate frames/components by name),
figma_get_design with node_id + depth (layout, px sizes, hex colors,
text, fonts), figma_styles (design tokens: styles + components).
- Need SVG (icons/vectors)?
figma_export_svg with node_ids — rebuilt
locally from cached geometry, ZERO API calls, no /v1/images 429. Handles
solid + gradient fills and strokes; image fills/effects/text/rotation come
back as warnings.
- Need raster (PNG/JPG), or a node with image fills/effects?
figma_export_images
(image tier — a separate rate limit from the file budget; can 429 on free plan).
- Design changed? Check
figma_file_meta first (cheap); only when
probablyStale: true pass force_refresh=true.
figma_quota shows the remaining budget per file.
NEVER call figma_get_design with force_refresh=true speculatively, and
never loop over it — the cache is the whole point.
