EN, DE, ES, FR, JA, KO, PT, VI, ITFrequently 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.
