# Upload images

Places PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP images of up to 10 MB into a Figma file, as a fill on a given layer or in new frames.

## 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 `upload_assets`.

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.
