🎨 Comprehensive Comparison of Mainstream Figma to Code MCPs

📖 Introduction

@f2c/mcp is an MCP Server built on F2C. With numerous Figma to Code MCPs available in the market, this article focuses on comparing the practical performance of @f2c/mcp against other mainstream MCPs. We won't cover installation details as they're well-documented in various articles and official websites.

We've selected two representative MCPs for comparison:

• Figma-Context-MCP (10.1k ⭐ on GitHub)
• Dev Mode MCP (Official Figma MCP)

🔬 Comparative Testing

Test Environment Setup

To ensure fair comparison, we established a unified testing environment:

• Model: Augment Code + Claude Sonnet 4
• Tech Stack: React + CSS Modules
• Test Design: Complex interface with both coding and design elements

📋 Test Design File

🧩 Base Component

We prepared a placeholder component where the generated code will be inserted:

import React from "react";

function Test() {
  return <div className="test">test</div>;
}

export default Test;

The rendered result looks like this:

📝 Unified Test Prompt

Please convert this design file: xxx, into code suitable for this project. Requirements: pixel-perfect restoration, maintainable code, and proper handling of image resources in the xxx folder with correct path processing.
