If you've ever wanted to script Figma files from the command line or let Claude edit designs directly, this is the tool. It's a fully open source design editor that reads and writes real .fig files, with a headless CLI for queries and exports, plus an MCP server that gives AI agents 87 tools to manipulate designs. The XPath query syntax is clever for finding nodes, and the eval command lets you run Figma Plugin API code against files or a live desktop app. Built on Skia rendering with Vue, ships as web app, desktop, or CLI. The peer to peer collaboration and built in AI chat with bring your own key are nice touches for a self hosted workflow.
