Connecting Figma to Google Antigravity (Linux Guide)

Because the official Figma Desktop app is not available on Linux, the standard local port connection (127.0.0.1:3845) will fail with an ECONNREFUSED error. To fix this, you must bypass the local desktop bridge and connect Antigravity directly to Figma’s cloud API.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Ensure Node.js (v18+) is installed on your machine.
• Figma Personal Access Token (PAT):
  1. Log into Figma in your web browser.
  2. Click your profile avatar (top left) -> Settings -> Personal access tokens.
  3. Click Generate new token. Name it and ensure it has File content: read access.
  4. Copy the generated token (it will start with figd_).

Method 1: The Direct API Package (Recommended)

This method uses npx to dynamically pull and run the Figma developer MCP server, securely routing your token directly to the API.

1. Open Google Antigravity.
2. Go to Manage MCP Servers -> View raw config.
3. Replace any existing Figma configuration with the following JSON.
4. Be sure to replace the placeholder with your actual figd_ token.

```json { “mcpServers”: { “figma”: { “command”: “npx”, “args”: [ “-y”, “figma-developer-mcp”, “–stdio” ], “env”: { “FIGMA_API_KEY”: “paste_your_figd_token_here” } } } }
