Figma's MCP server enables a new workflow where AI agents bridge the gap between design and code. Using tools like use_figma and generate_figma_design, agents can read a coded product, generate editable Figma frames for every state (including edge cases like error and loading states), detect design token drift between Figma and the codebase, and document visual differences as shared artifacts. The result is a continuous loop where the canvas reflects the full product reality, designers can iterate freely before committing to code, and handoff happens through Dev Mode without extra review cycles.
