Despite Figma co-founder Dylan Field\u2019s concerns about MCP (model context protocol), which standardizes how AI agents connect to external data sources and tools, the company is expanding its support for the open source standard. <\/p>\n

At the design company\u2019s first Config conference held in India, the company announced 20 new model context protocol (MCP) partners, including Amp, ClickUp, Dia, Junie by JetBrains, Linear, Meta Muse, Mistral, Notion, OpenCode, and Sarvam Agents.<\/p>\n

Field has expressed his misgivings about MCP before. Days before this announcement, one of MCP\u2019s co-creators complained about Figma not supporting the open-source tool Pi. As part of his response, Field made a comment about Anthropic not making its various resources available via MCP. <\/p>\n

\u201cI find it interesting that Anthropic (creators of MCP standard) do not expose artifacts \/ other cloud resources created via MCP,\u201d he wrote on X. \u201cThe debate is framed as open vs closed. Everyone always prefers open\u2026 obviously. And meanwhile issues of asymmetric context sharing are ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Field later added that Figma plans support Pi.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Can you help me understand why you don’t make various Anthropic resources available via MCP? Maybe I’m missing something.<\/p>\n

At a media<\/a> briefing, I asked Field about this debate. The co-founder explained that while Figma wants to be open, he doesn\u2019t think MCP is a perfect protocol.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited about what we\u2019re doing in terms of opening up our ecosystem. I also think that MCP is not a perfect protocol. And I think that it is something that has tons of room for improvement,\u201d the co-founder responded. \u201cIt is advantaged more to frontier labs. Also, I understand everyone online who just wants a protocol that they can use when they want to use their Figma data, and I want them to use it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Figma\u2019s CEO said that the reason the company doesn\u2019t want to be fully open is that the more data the company exposes through MCP, the higher the chance of abuse. <\/p>\n

He also clarified that while most users don\u2019t intend to use MCP or Figma data in a malicious way, the company still has to think about those potential risks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
