Figma MCP (Model Context Protocol) enables AI code generators like Cursor to understand Figma designs at a semantic level, providing better design-to-code conversion than screenshot-based approaches. The guide covers setup requirements including Figma Desktop app and compatible code editors, configuration steps for both Figma and Cursor, and troubleshooting common issues like 'get_code' and 'get_image' errors. MCP offers design token awareness and semantic precision, allowing AI to access exact variable names, hierarchy, and constraints for better alignment with design systems.
