This tutorial covers how to add the Figma Dev Mode MCP Server as a Goose extension to enable interaction with Figma files, designs, and components.

:::info The MCP Server requires a Dev or Full seat on Professional, Organization, or Enterprise Figma plans. :::

:::tip TLDR Launch the installer Use goose configure to add a Remote Extension (Streaming HTTP) extension type with:

**Endpoint URL**

```
http://127.0.0.1:3845/mcp
```

Required Setup

The Dev Mode MCP Server must be enabled in the Figma desktop app :::

Configuration

  1. Follow the instructions in Figma's Guide to the Dev Mode MCP Server to enable the MCP Server.

    Your server will now be running at http://127.0.0.1:3845/mcp

    :::info Alternative Setup If you don't see a Preferences menu in the desktop app as described in the instructions, try this:

    1. Click the </> toggle at the bottom of your design file
    2. In the right panel, toggle Enable MCP server :::
  2. Add the Figma extension to Goose:

Example Usage

The Figma extension in Goose works alongside the Figma desktop app. You can use the extension to:

  • Convert Figma designs into production-ready code (React, Vue, HTML/CSS, etc.)
  • Extract design tokens, variables, and generate design system rules
  • Capture visual references of your designs

Let's try converting a Figma design into React code. First, copy the link:

  1. Open a design file in the Figma desktop app where the MCP Server is enabled
  2. In the layers panel, right-click any frame or component and choose Copy link to selection

:::tip You can provide Goose with a Figma link or simply select an element in the Figma desktop app. :::

I'll help you convert that Figma design to React. Let me first examine the Figma file to understand the design structure and components.

manage_extensions action, extension_name

I'll help you convert that Figma design to React. Let me first extract the node ID from the URL and then generate the React code for you.

get_code nodeId, clientLanguages, clientFrameworks
get_image nodeId, clientLanguages, clientFrameworks

I've successfully converted your Figma design to React! Here's the generated component:

const imgImage1 = "http://localhost:3845/assets/e0e0f6accb741cb6cacec2697cef047a7eea7e30.png";

function Component1() {
  return (
    <div className="relative size-full" data-name="Component 1" data-node-id="351:8">
      <div className="absolute bg-[#d9d9d9] inset-0 rounded-lg" data-node-id="351:2" />
      <div
        className="absolute font-['Inter:Black',_sans-serif] font-black inset-[23.33%_2.56%_22.22%_56.41%] leading-[normal] not-italic text-[#333b43] text-[20px]"
        data-node-id="351:3"
      >
        <p className="block mb-0">ask</p>
        <p className="block">goose</p>
      </div>
      <div
        className="absolute aspect-[92/90] bg-center bg-cover bg-no-repeat left-0 right-[52.82%] rounded-lg top-0"
        data-name="image 1"
        data-node-id="351:6"
        style={{ backgroundImage: `url('${imgImage1}')` }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default function Component2() {
  return (
    <div className="relative size-full" data-name="Component 1" data-node-id="351:8">
      <Component1 />
    </div>
  );
}

Key Features of the Generated Component:

  • Tailwind CSS Styling: Uses Tailwind classes for responsive design and styling
  • Image Asset: The goose logo is loaded from a localhost server as a background image
  • Typography: Uses Inter Black font for the "ask goose" text
  • Layout: Positioned absolutely with precise inset values to match the Figma design
  • Responsive: Uses relative positioning and percentage-based insets for scalability

Component Structure:

  • Background: Light gray rounded container (#d9d9d9)
  • Logo: Goose silhouette image positioned on the left side
  • Text: "ask goose" text positioned on the right in dark gray (#333b43)

The component maintains the exact visual hierarchy and styling from your Figma design while being fully responsive and ready to integrate into a React application with Tailwind CSS.
