In-depth architectural comparison of the Figwright and Text To Model MCP servers. Compare execution transports, security boundaries, tool capabilities, quality scores, and ready-to-paste client installation snippets for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Figwright
Architecture & Design · Local stdio
Quality: 60/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Text To Model
Architecture & Design · Remote HTTP/SSE
Quality: 47/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Figwright if you need specialized Architecture & Design tools running via a local process. Choose Text To Model if your workspace requires Architecture & Design integration with remote web transport. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Figwright Tools (3)
Read
selection, document and node inspection, styles, variables, components, fonts, reactions, motion (animation) state, screenshots, original image-fill assets, PDF export, and video export of animated frames (MP4 / GIF / WebM); plus `list_files` / `use_file` for working across more than one open Figma…
Write
create and edit frames, text, shapes, auto-layout, effects, styles, variables, components (including authoring their boolean/text/instance-swap properties), pages, reactions, and Motion animations (keyframes, animation-style presets, timelines); plus a `batch` tool to apply many edits at once.
Grounding
`get_design_context` for faithful, de-duplicated design context, and `component_map` / `token_map` / `icon_map`, which join Figma data to your codebase so codegen reuses what you already have; plus `design_diff`, which reports what changed in a design against a saved baseline so you update only the…

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Figwright is categorized under Architecture & Design and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Text To Model belongs to Architecture & Design using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Figwright when you need capabilities focused on architecture & design and Text To Model when you require tools for architecture & design.
