Endigest AI Core Summary

This post introduces the Figma MCP server for Codex, enabling two-way workflow between Figma and code.

  • The MCP server links Codex to Figma Design, Figma Make, and FigJam files
  • get_design_context pulls layouts, styles, and component info from Figma for code generation
  • generate_figma_design converts a running UI into editable Figma frames without manual work
  • Users can start from a Figma design, code it, then push the UI back to the canvas
  • This roundtrip process enables building from prototype to production efficiently
