Bringing your Figma work into Vibely means Vibely builds from your actual designs instead of guessing at layout, color, and component structure. Use it when you have designs you want to turn into a working app, when you need to match a design system closely, or when design and build are happening in parallel.

​
Connect Figma

The Figma connector links Vibely to Figma’s hosted MCP server. Once connected, Vibely can read the files your Figma account can open while it builds: frame layout, component structure, the variables behind your design tokens, and Dev Mode measurements. You don’t need to export or attach anything. What Vibely can do with it
  • Read frames, components, and layout from your files
  • Pull variables and design tokens into your code
  • Get Dev Mode specs and measurements
  • Export images of a frame for reference
  • Turn a design into a working screen, for web or mobile
The Figma connector is used while you build. Your published app can’t call Figma through this connection.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Figma account that can already open the file. Vibely sees exactly what you can see.
  • A Dev or Full seat in Figma for Dev Mode specs and measurements. With a view-only seat, Vibely gets structure but not measurements.
  • Permission to connect connectors in your workspace. See Admin controls.
Figma seats are billed by Figma on your Figma plan.

​
Set up the connector

1

Check your Figma seat

Dev Mode output needs a Dev or Full seat. Confirm yours first, or specs come back empty and look like a connection problem.
2

Connect Figma in Vibely

Open Customize from the sidebar, go to the Connectors tab, open Figma, and connect it. You authorize in your browser with your Figma account. There’s no API key to paste.
3

Point Vibely at a design

Paste a link to the frame or file in the project chat and describe what you want built.
More prompts to try:

​
Manage or disconnect

Go to Customize → Connectors → Figma. Disconnecting stops Vibely from reading your files. Code already generated from a design stays as it is.

​
Upload a .fig file

Upload a Figma file to give Vibely the content it can read from it: frame and layer names, text, and component names. It’s fast and needs no setup, but it doesn’t recreate your designs pixel for pixel.
1

Save the file from Figma

In Figma, open your design file and choose File → Save local copy. The .fig file saves to your computer.
2

Add it to your message

Drag the .fig file into the prompt box, or click + and choose Upload files or photos. Files can be up to 10 MB.
3

Describe what to build

For exact colors, spacing, and layout, connect Figma instead, or attach a screenshot or exported image of the frames alongside the .fig file.

Limitations

  • Build-time only. Design data is context for building. Nothing from the connection ships in your app.
  • Only what your account can open. A file shared with your team but not with you is invisible to Vibely.
  • Seat-dependent specs. Dev Mode measurements need a Dev or Full seat.
  • Frames and components translate best. Prototype interactions and plugin-generated layers don’t translate into code the same way.
  • .fig uploads are text-level. Vibely reads names and text from the file, not its visual layout.

​
FAQ

Connecting Figma gives Vibely live access to your files, including layout, components, variables, and specs, so it can build screens that match. A .fig upload gives Vibely the names and text it can read from one saved file. Use the connector when you want Vibely to build from your actual screen designs.
No. The Figma connector uses Figma’s hosted server, so it works from the Vibely web app with your browser.
Connecting Figma and uploading a file are free. The message that uses the design is priced like any other Build mode message.
Yes. For example, connect Figma for live inspection and attach a .fig file or screenshots for extra context.
