Figma expands MCP support despite co-founder Dylan Field's protocol concerns
· Technology · TechCrunch
At Figma's first Config conference in India, the company announced support for 20 new model context protocol partners including Amp, ClickUp, Dia, Linear, Meta Muse, Mistral, Notion, and Sarvam Agents, despite co-founder Dylan Field's public criticism that MCP is not a perfect protocol and favors frontier labs. Field had previously voiced concerns about Anthropic not exposing cloud resources via MCP and about asymmetric context sharing, noting the open versus closed debate in the AI ecosystem. Figma's CEO stated the company cannot be fully open through MCP due to abuse risks, though Field later added Figma plans to support the Pi protocol. The announcements come days after another MCP co-creator complained about Figma not supporting the open-source tool Pi.
Why it matters
Developers and AI tool builders gain more options to integrate Figma data across platforms, though Field's critique highlights ongoing tension between open protocol ideals and platform safety concerns that could shape future integration standards.
