A side-by-side look at the Figbridge and Figma Context MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Figbridge for architecture & design work as a local process; choose Figma Context MCP for architecture & design as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
FIGBRIDGE_PORT.FIGMA_API_KEY.get_figma_design, get_image_fills, render_node_images.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
