Connect Figma to Relato with the Figma MCP

Wire Relato into Figma so your AI Content Agents pull design assets and specs into a project for writers and reviewers.

Written by David Baum

Connect Figma to Relato and bring design assets and specs to the writers and reviewers who need them.

What you can do

With Figma connected, an agent can:

  • Pull design assets from a Figma file into a Relato project.

  • Add layout and component specs so writers know the format they write for.

  • Give reviewers the visual context next to the copy they are checking.

Connect Figma

In Relato open Settings > Integrations > MCP > Add account, paste the Figma MCP URL, approve the OAuth prompt, and name the account. The name you give it prefixes Figma's tools in the agent tool picker. Then attach the Figma tools plus the Relato query and project tools to an agent and set a trigger, which can be a project stage change, a schedule, or a manual run. For the full walkthrough see Connect any MCP to Relato.

A good first agent

Try a spec puller. Create an agent, attach the Figma tools and the Relato query and project tools, and set the trigger to a manual run you fire when a project enters design review. Instruct it to read the relevant Figma frame, pull the key specs and asset links, and add them to the Relato project so writers and reviewers see them in context. Run it once by hand, confirm the details are right, then reuse it per project.

A note on OAuth

Relato's MCP integration is OAuth-based. You can connect Figma if it runs an OAuth-capable MCP server that Relato can reach. If a public OAuth MCP for Figma does not exist yet, tell us at [email protected] and we will help you find a path.

FAQ

Which Figma file does it read? You point the agent at the file or frame in its instructions, so it reads only what you name.

Does it pull full images or just links? That depends on what the Figma MCP server exposes. Start with links and specs, then expand once you see what the tools return.
