Figma AI Agents
Use AI agents to design directly on your Figma canvas. Set up MCP, generate screens from text, apply your design system, and write custom Skills.
What You'll Learn
- Explain how Figma's AI features work — Make for in-app generation and MCP for external agent access
- Use Figma Make to generate UI designs from text descriptions
- Apply the Figma MCP server setup to connect AI coding agents like Claude Code to your canvas
- Design prompts that produce design-system-aligned components instead of hardcoded elements
- Create custom Figma Skills that encode your team's design conventions for consistent AI output
- Evaluate when AI-generated designs are production-ready and when they need manual refinement

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
Not for Figma Make (Lessons 1-2). For MCP agent workflows (Lessons 3-8), basic comfort with a terminal helps but isn't required — we walk through every step.
Which Figma plan do I need?
Figma's free plan works for Make. For MCP agent access, you need Professional ($12/month) — the free tier only allows 6 MCP calls per month.
Does this work with tools other than Claude Code?
Yes. Figma MCP works with Cursor, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 10+ other MCP-compatible agents.
Will AI replace my design job?
No. 91% of designers say AI improves their work, and only 17% see it as a job threat. AI handles the repetitive screen variations — you focus on creative decisions.
