## AI overview

This article explains how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects AI assistants such as Claude, Copilot, and Cursor with external tools and data sources through a common protocol. It introduces Figma's beta MCP server, which integrates Figma into developer workflows to support design-informed code generation with large language models, while discussing the potential benefits and risks of agentic AI.
