Figma MCP Go vs MCP Cinema4d
A side-by-side look at the Figma MCP Go and MCP Cinema4d MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Figma MCP Go for architecture & design work as a local process; choose MCP Cinema4d for architecture & design as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Tools & capabilities
Figma MCP Go tools 60
apply_style_to_nodeApply a local style to a node.batch_execute_pipelineRun write steps in order. A step can use earlier results through $variables. With stop_on_error, a failure undoes created nodes and changed properties, but not deletes, group/ungroup, detach, reparent, or steps that target nodes by name.batch_rename_nodesRename nodes: set `name`, or find/replace (regex allowed), or prefix/suffix. `name` cannot mix with the others.boolean_operationCombine 2+ shapes (same parent): UNION, SUBTRACT (cut the rest from the first), INTERSECT, or EXCLUDE. Pipeline rollback cannot undo it.clone_nodeCopy a node, optionally to a new position or parent.combine_as_variantsCombine 2+ components (same parent) into a variant set. Add VARIANT properties with manage_component_properties.create_componentTurn a FRAME into a COMPONENT, in place.create_component_instanceCreate an instance of a local (componentId) or library (componentKey) component. A component set uses its default variant.create_connectorCreate a connector line. This tool operates only in a FigJam file.create_nodeCreate a shape. Args per `type`: FRAME: width, height, fillColor, auto layout args. RECTANGLE: width, height, fillColor, cornerRadius. ELLIPSE: width, height, fillColor, startAngle, endAngle, innerRadiusRatio. STAR: pointCount, outerRadius, innerRadius, fillColor, cornerRadius. POLYGON: pointCount, radius, fillColor, cornerRadius. LINE: length, rotation, strokeColor, strokeWeight. SECTION: width, height (no parent). All: x, y, name. The tool rejects other args. For text, use create_text.create_styleCreate a local style. Args per `type`: PAINT: color. TEXT: fontSize, fontFamily, fontStyle, textDecoration, lineHeightValue/Unit, letterSpacingValue/Unit. EFFECT: effectType, color, opacity, radius, offsetX, offsetY, spread. GRID: pattern, count, gutterSize, offset, alignment, sectionSize, color, opacity. The tool returns the style ID. Apply the style with apply_style_to_node.create_textCreate a text node (loads the font). To edit text, use set_text.- +48 more on the listing page
MCP Cinema4d tools 67
pingCheck connectivity to the Cinema 4D bridge plugin.renderRender the active Cinema 4D document at its currently-active render data settings. To change resolution / renderer / frame range / etc., adjust the active RenderData first via `create_render_data` (with `update_if_exists:true` on the active RD) or `set_params`. The request times out after 180 seconds; heavier renders that exceed that keep running in C4D but the call returns a timeout.preview_renderQuick agent-friendly verification render. Uses the Viewport renderer with the active editor view temporarily switched to Constant Shading (Lines) — sketch-style and fast. Independent of the active RenderData (built freestanding, never inserted) and restores BaseDraw / camera / time / take in finally. Returns a base64 PNG inline so the agent can directly view it. Use `view: top|bottom|left|right|front|back` for an auto-framed temp camera, or `camera` to render through a named scene camera. Pass `save_path` to also write the PNG to disk.reset_sceneClear scene state in one RPC. With `prefix` (e.g. 'e2e_') removes only objects / materials / non-active render data / non-main takes whose name starts with the prefix, then flushes the undo buffer — cheap cleanup for test suites. Without prefix, swaps the active document for a fresh empty BaseDocument (everything goes). Much faster than chained remove_entity calls when cleanup involves animated objects.call_commandInvoke a Cinema 4D command by plugin id via c4d.CallCommand(). Works for built-in commands (render, save, make editable, ...) and any registered command plugin.list_pluginsGeneralized plugin enumerator. Pass plugin_type (e.g. "material", "shader", "video_post", "command") or a raw int to FilterPluginList. Each entry includes "plugin" (parent folder of the binary, e.g. "OctaneRender 1.7.1") and "plugin_file" (binary basename) for host-plugin attribution. Filter results by name_pattern and/or plugin_pattern regex.undoPop up to `steps` entries off the active document's undo stack via doc.DoUndo. Stops early if the stack empties. Returns `steps_performed` so callers can tell when fewer steps were available than requested. Default: 1 step.batchRun many generic ops in one RPC. Each op is applied in order; by default failures are recorded per op and the batch continues. The whole batch is wrapped in a single undo group. Useful for 'apply X to all matching entities' workflows (pair with list_entities + name_pattern to get handles).list_entitiesEnumerate scene entities of a given kind. Returns compact summaries (name, type_id, type_name, plus kind-specific fields — `is_active` for take / material / render_data). For kind=object also supports type_ids / tag_types / max_depth filters and include_tags / include_params to read data inline — so you can find 'all cubes with a Ttexture tag and their position in one call' without falling back to exec_python. Use this first to find what exists before `describe`/`set_params`. **Note:** kind=shader walks classical shader chains; for node-material graphs use `list_graph_nodes`.describeDump all description parameters (id, name, cycle enum, current value) of a C4D entity resolved by handle. Use this to discover parameter IDs before reading/writing.get_paramsRead parameter values on a C4D entity by id or DescID path. Each id may be: an int (top-level), a list [a, b, …] (chained DescID; dtypes inferred from the description), or contain 'x'/'y'/'z' for vector sub-components (e.g. [903, 'x'] = position.x). For explicit dtypes use [[id, 'real|long|bool|vector'], …]. Returns `{values: [{path, value}]}` in request order. Discover ids via `describe`.set_paramsAtomically write parameter values (wrapped in one undo). Each entry is `{path, value}` where `path` is either an int id or a DescID path (e.g. [903, 'x'] = position.x). Lists of 3 numbers auto-coerce into c4d.Vector for vector-typed destinations. Returns `{applied: [{path, value}], errors: [{path, error}]}`.- +55 more on the listing page

Frequently asked questions
Figma MCP Go is categorized under Architecture & Design and uses a local stdio subprocess. MCP Cinema4d belongs to Architecture & Design and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Figma MCP Go for architecture & design work and MCP Cinema4d for architecture & design.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Figma MCP Go has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. MCP Cinema4d has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add figma-mcp-go and mcp-cinema4d as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
