In practice, teams can bring details from Figma Design⁠(opens in a new window), Figma Make⁠(opens in a new window), or FigJam⁠(opens in a new window) into Codex to implement them in code. With the new integration, users can now also turn UI from code into editable Figma designs so they can explore new ideas and iterations before bringing the changes back to code.

The result is a new roundtrip workflow where Figma and OpenAI users can start anywhere, and move forward with speed and attention to craft. Whether a product idea starts from a prompt, in code, or a design, the Figma MCP Server helps connect the best ideas without losing context along the way.

“As the barriers for building software go down, the amount of software created will increase exponentially. It’s no longer about whether you can build, but what you build and how it stands out,” said Loredana Crisan, Figma’s Chief Design Officer. “With this integration, teams can build on their best ideas—not just their first idea—by combining the best of code with the creativity, collaboration, and craft that comes with Figma’s infinite canvas.”

“This integration makes Codex powerful for a much broader range of builders and businesses because it doesn’t assume you’re ‘a designer’ or ‘an engineer’ first,” said Alexander Embiricos, Codex product lead. “Engineers can iterate visually without leaving their flow, and designers can work closer to real implementation without becoming full-time coders. The boundary between roles starts to soften because the system helps translate between intent and reality continuously.”
