Figma MCP

Use the Figma MCP server for Figma-driven implementation. For setup and debugging details (env vars, config, verification), see references/figma-mcp-config.md.

Figma MCP Integration Rules

These rules define how to translate Figma inputs into code for this project and must be followed for every Figma-driven change.

Required flow (do not skip)

1. Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s).
2. If the response is too large or truncated, run get_metadata to get the high-level node map and then re-fetch only the required node(s) with get_design_context.
3. Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented.
4. Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation.
5. Translate the output (usually React + Tailwind) into this project's conventions, styles and framework. Reuse the project's color tokens, components, and typography wherever possible.
6. Validate against Figma for 1:1 look and behavior before marking complete.

Implementation rules

• Treat the Figma MCP output (React + Tailwind) as a representation of design and behavior, not as final code style.
• Replace Tailwind utility classes with the project's preferred utilities/design-system tokens when applicable.
• Reuse existing components (e.g., buttons, inputs, typography, icon wrappers) instead of duplicating functionality.
• Use the project's color system, typography scale, and spacing tokens consistently.
• Respect existing routing, state management, and data-fetch patterns already adopted in the repo.
• Strive for 1:1 visual parity with the Figma design. When conflicts arise, prefer design-system tokens and adjust spacing or sizes minimally to match visuals.
• Validate the final UI against the Figma screenshot for both look and behavior.
