# Figma lets AI agents edit designs directly on the canvas

By Steven Van · 2026-03-24

The Figma MCP server moves beyond read-only code context to let agents make changes on the canvas, in beta.

AI agents can now write directly to Figma files through the [Figma MCP server](<https://www.figma.com/release-notes/?title=design-with-agents-on-the-figma-canvas-now-in-beta>), in beta. Previously the MCP server was read-only, giving agents design context to generate code; this update lets agents make changes directly on the [Figma](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/figma>) canvas.
