Let’s Test Drive the New Figma MCP

​🛜 THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT

​Figma just announced that agents can now write directly to the Figma canvas.

​That means tools like Claude Code, Codex, and other agents can now create and edit real Figma assets — with awareness of your existing design systems. Figma is also introducing Skills, a new way to guide how agents work on the canvas using simple text instructions.

​For this session, we’ll do a live walkthrough of what’s new and pressure-test what it actually changes.

​We’ll cover:

• ​what Figma is actually enabling now with the MCP server

• ​what it means for agents to write to the canvas

• ​how Skills might shape repeatable workflows for teams

• ​where this gets exciting for design systems

• ​where it still feels rough, constrained, or overhyped

​I’ll also talk through what this could mean for the future of design work:

• ​does work start in code, in Figma, or with an agent?

• ​what becomes faster now?

• ​what still needs real design judgment?

• ​how should designers adapt when the canvas is no longer human-only?

​This won’t be a polished “AI changes everything” talk.
 It’ll be a practical working session for designers trying to understand what’s real, what’s useful, and what’s changing next.

​Come curious. Come skeptical.
