Can Claude Code actually read my Figma file?

Yes — via the official Figma MCP server (Model Context Protocol). Once connected with a Figma personal access token, Claude Code can pull frames, components, auto-layout properties, variants, design tokens (color, type, spacing, effects), and even individual node JSON. It reads structure not just pixels — so the generated code uses your actual component names, your actual token names, and respects your auto-layout intent. We set this up day one of every project. Without MCP, we fall back to high-fidelity screenshots + token JSON exported from Figma plugins (Style Dictionary, Tokens Studio).
