As of 2025-10-15, PMs can leverage the Figma MCP server integrated with Claude Code to transform design files into functional code components quickly and reliably. This integration enables AI-driven development by converting design assets from local or cloud Figma into HTML, CSS, React components, Tailwind utilities, or even iOS UI elements. Here are actionable steps to get started:
1. Set up your Figma environment: Ensure you have access to your local or cloud Figma account and that your design files are properly organized. 2. Connect with the Figma MCP server: Use the integration’s configuration screen within your AI coding assistant interface (Claude Code) to authenticate and establish a connection to Figma. 3. Define your output requirements: Specify the target platform (web, mobile, etc.), and detail the components or layouts needed for your product. This helps the AI generate code that adheres to your design intent. 4. Use the appropriate prompt: When invoking Claude Code, include a /figma or similar prompt command that triggers the MCP server to pull the most current and versioned design details from Figma. For example, you might enter a command like '/figma convert current design to React components'. 5. Validate and iterate: Once the code is auto-generated, review the output for accuracy. Use your development and design teams to perform static analysis, and if necessary, provide iterative feedback to refine the conversion process.
Real-world implementations suggest that early adoption of these integrations can reduce manual coding for design handoffs by a significant margin, although specific metrics are still emerging. By automating the conversion of design files, PMs can shorten development cycles and ensure more consistent product updates.
This approach empowers AI Product Managers to optimize workflows, clear communication between design and engineering, and ultimately reduce time-to-market for new features while maintaining design fidelity.
