figma-mcp-downloader

npm version Build

CLI for saving Figma MCP tool results to local files.

[!IMPORTANT] This documentation is written exclusively for AI agents with access to the Figma MCP tool schema.

Prerequisites

  • Figma Desktop app must be running (Local MCP server starts automatically)

Installation

npm install -g figma-mcp-downloader

Or run directly with npx:

npx figma-mcp-downloader <subcommand> [options]

Subcommands and MCP Tool Mapping

Subcommands share the same names as MCP tools.

Subcommand MCP Tool
get_design_context get_design_context
get_metadata get_metadata

[!NOTE]
Other Figma MCP tools (e.g., get_screenshot, get_variable_defs) are not currently supported by this CLI.

npx figma-mcp-downloader [subcommand] <output-file> [options]

Common Arguments/Options

[!IMPORTANT]
Options without descriptions are identical to the corresponding Figma MCP tool parameters. Refer to the Figma MCP tool schema for details.
The MCP response contains multiple content items: the first is the generated JSX code or XML, and the rest are supplementary AI guidance. Use -c to extract only the JSX code or XML.

Argument/Option Figma MCP Parameter Description
<output-file> - Output file path
-c, --content-only - Save only the first text content (JSX code or XML), not the full JSON response
-i, --node-id <id> nodeId The ID of the node in the Figma document
-l, --client-languages <languages> clientLanguages A comma separated list of programming languages used by the client
-f, --client-frameworks <frameworks> clientFrameworks A comma separated list of frameworks used by the client

[!NOTE]
Both -l and -f options are used for logging purposes to understand which languages and frameworks are being used. Specify them based on available context, but omit them if unsure.

get_design_context

Get the design context for a layer or selection and save the full JSON response from the MCP tool to a file.

npx figma-mcp-downloader get_design_context <output-file> [options]

[!IMPORTANT]
This CLI always sets forceCode to true when calling the MCP tool.

Argument/Option Figma MCP Parameter Description
-a, --artifact-type <type> artifactType The type of artifact the user is creating or modifying
-t, --task-type <type> taskType The type of task being performed
-d, --dir-for-asset-writes <path> dirForAssetWrites The directory to write image, vector and video assets to (Must be an absolute path)

[!NOTE] Valid values for -a: WEB_PAGE_OR_APP_SCREEN, COMPONENT_WITHIN_A_WEB_PAGE_OR_APP_SCREEN, REUSABLE_COMPONENT, DESIGN_SYSTEM Valid values for -t: CREATE_ARTIFACT, CHANGE_ARTIFACT, DELETE_ARTIFACT The -d option is required when Figma Desktop's "Image source" is set to "Download". It has no effect with "Local server".

Examples

# With -c: saves JSX only
npx figma-mcp-downloader get_design_context design_context.jsx -i "123:456" -c -l typescript -f react,tailwindcss
# Without -c: saves full JSON response
npx figma-mcp-downloader get_design_context design_context.json -i "123:456" -l html,css,javascript -f vue
# With -d: download assets to a directory (required when "Image source" is "Download")
npx figma-mcp-downloader get_design_context design_context.jsx -i "123:456" -c -d /home/user/my-project/src/public/images -l typescript -f react,tailwindcss

get_metadata

Get the sparse XML representation for a layer or selection and save the full JSON response from the MCP tool to a file.

npx figma-mcp-downloader get_metadata <output-file> [options]

Examples

# With -c: saves XML only
npx figma-mcp-downloader get_metadata metadata.xml -i "123:456" -c -l typescript -f react,tailwindcss
# Without -c: saves full JSON response
npx figma-mcp-downloader get_metadata metadata.json -i "123:456" -l html,css,javascript -f vue
