Summary
At its first Config conference in India, Figma announced 20 new model context protocol partners, including Notion, Mistral, Linear and ClickUp, expanding support for the AI connectivity standard.
Dylan Field said Figma wants a more open ecosystem but still sees MCP as flawed, arguing the protocol favors frontier labs and has significant room for improvement.
Field also said broader MCP access could expose more Figma data to abuse, even if most users are not acting maliciously, helping explain why the company is not fully open.
The move comes days after an MCP co-creator criticized Figma for not supporting the open-source tool Pi; Field later said Figma plans to support Pi as well.
