Figma Opens Canvas for AI Agents

<p>Figma launched an open beta of the new MCP tool <strong>use_figma</strong> - now AI agents can draw designs directly on the canvas in Figma, rather than just reading from it.</p>
<p>Previously, the Figma MCP server worked one way - the agent could read the design and turn it into code. Now it's a two-way process: the agent can create and modify UI elements tied to your design system, and then you can refine the result by hand in Figma.</p>
<p>It works with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Warp, and other MCP clients. During the beta period, <strong>use_figma</strong> is available for free - it will become a paid API later.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Figma added the concept of <strong>skills</strong> - essentially instructions that teach the agent to work on specific design tasks. You can share them and create your own.</p>
