# Create or edit a design

Creates, edits, deletes or inspects frames, components, text, images, variables and styles in a Figma Design, FigJam or Slides file.

`use_figma` is available on the remote MCP server only, not the desktop server.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "figma": { "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `use_figma`.

Server URL: https://mcp.figma.com/mcp

Before doing anything else, make one read-only call to confirm access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data.
- Never print API keys.
