What does figma do?

figma is a Claude Code plugin that connects Claude to Figma's remote MCP server at mcp.figma.com and installs a set of skills, such as figma-design-to-code, figma-code-connect, figma-generate-design and figma-use-figjam. Through the server Claude reads design context from a selected frame, including variables, components and layout, and generates code from it. Code Connect maps Figma components to the ones in your codebase so the code reuses them. On the remote server Claude can also create and edit frames, components, variables and auto layout in your files. Read calls are rate limited, and Starter plans or View and Collab seats get six a month.
