Verdict

Pick Figma MCP Server (Official Remote) if you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install, and you need the broadest set of tools.

Pick MiniMax MCP Server (Official) if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Add Figma MCP Server (Official Remote)

Install / run

Add MCP server URL https://mcp.figma.com/mcp (HTTP) and sign in via Figma OAuth

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-mcp-server-official-remote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Add MiniMax MCP Server (Official)

Install / run

uvx minimax-mcp -y

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "minimax-mcp",
        "-y"

        "MINIMAX_MCP_BASE_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/output/dir"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.
