Figma MCP config reference

Figma MCP config reference

Use this snippet to register the Figma MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml as a streamable HTTP server with bearer auth pulled from your env.

[mcp_servers.figma]
url = "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "FIGMA_OAUTH_TOKEN"
http_headers = { "X-Figma-Region" = "us-east-1" }

Notes and options

• The bearer token must be available as FIGMA_OAUTH_TOKEN in the environment that launches Codex.
• Keep the region header aligned with your Figma region. If your org uses another region, update X-Figma-Region consistently.
• OAuth on streamable HTTP requires the RMCP client: set [features].rmcp_client = true (or experimental_use_rmcp_client = true on older builds) at the top level of config.toml.
• Optional per-server timeouts: startup_timeout_sec (default 10) and tool_timeout_sec (default 60) can be set inside [mcp_servers.figma] if needed.

Env var setup (if missing)

• One-time set for current shell: export FIGMA_OAUTH_TOKEN="<token>"
• Persist for future sessions: add the export line to your shell profile (e.g., ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc), then restart the shell or your IDE.
• Verify before launching Codex: echo $FIGMA_OAUTH_TOKEN should print a non-empty token.

Setup + verification checklist

• Add the snippet above to ~/.codex/config.toml under [mcp_servers.figma], and enable [features].rmcp_client = true (or experimental_use_rmcp_client = true on older releases).
• Restart Codex (CLI/IDE) after updating config and env vars.
• Ask Codex to list Figma tools or run a simple call to confirm the server is reachable.

Troubleshooting

• Token not picked up: Export FIGMA_OAUTH_TOKEN in the same shell that launches Codex, or add it to your shell profile and restart.
• OAuth errors: Verify rmcp_client is enabled and the bearer token is valid. Tokens copied from Figma should not include surrounding quotes.
• Network/headers: Keep the X-Figma-Region header; if your org uses another region, update the header consistently across config and requests.

Usage reminders

• The server is link-based: copy the Figma frame or layer link, then ask the MCP client to implement that URL. The client will extract the node ID from the link (it does not browse the page).
• If output feels generic, restate the project-specific rules from the main skill and ensure you follow the required flow (get_design_context → get_metadata if needed → get_screenshot).
