Figma adds 20 MCP partners at first Config conference in India

At its first Config conference in India on October 20, 2026, Figma announced 20 new Model Context Protocol (MCP) partners, including Amp, ClickUp, Dia, Junie by JetBrains, Linear, Meta Muse, Mistral, Notion, OpenCode, and Sarvam Agents. MCP is an open-source protocol that standardizes how AI agents connect to external data sources and tools.

Co-founder Dylan Field, who had previously voiced concerns about MCP, reiterated at a media briefing that while Figma wants to open up its ecosystem, he does not think MCP is a perfect protocol and believes it has significant room for improvement. He also noted that the protocol is more advantaged to frontier labs, and pointed out that Anthropic, the creator of the MCP standard, does not expose artifacts or other cloud resources via MCP.

Field said Figma's reluctance to be fully open stems from the risk of abuse: the more data the company exposes through MCP, the higher the chance of misuse. He added that although most users have no malicious intent, the company must still account for such risks. Field also confirmed that Figma plans to support the open-source tool Pi.
