## AI overview

Figma announces the beta release of its Figma MCP server, which connects Figma files with Codex for design-informed code generation. Teams can retrieve design context from Figma Design, Figma Make, and FigJam files, use it to build interfaces in Codex, and bring the resulting designs back into Figma for comparison and iteration.

## Source excerpt

With Codex to Figma, teams can bring real, running interfaces into Figma to explore, refine, and make decisions together, then bring it back to Codex with design context intact.
