Framelink MCP Server for Figma — Community Design-to-Code That Outperforms the Official

At a glance: 13,829 GitHub stars, 1,093 forks, v0.7.1, 2 tools, MIT license, ~53.4K weekly npm downloads. Rating: 4/5. Framelink is the community Figma MCP server that's become the de facto standard for design-to-code workflows — with 34x more stars than Figma's official guide repo. What It Does Two tools: get_figma_data — fetches structure, styling, and layout from a Figma link. Simplifies raw API response to include only relevant layout/styling info. download_figma_images — downloads SVG/PNG assets from Figma (still WIP). Why It Wins Descriptive output beats prescriptive output. Figma's official server sends <div className="flex gap-4 p-6 bg-white rounded-xl"> — your AI copies that even if you use Vue or Svelte. Framelink sends {layout: "horizontal", gap: 16, padding: 24} — your AI generates code matching your project. Component nesting preserved. Official server flattens hierarchies. Framelink keeps the tree, so AI generates composable components. ~25% smaller payloads. Less context
