# Updates to generative plugins and shaders By Steven Van · 2026-09-01 At Config, we launched the ability build your own custom generative plugins and shaders by prompting the Figma agent. Generative plugins and shaders, the custom tools [Figma]() users can build by prompting the Figma agent, now do more than render a static effect. Figma has added animation, publishing and code access on top of the feature [introduced at Config](). - **Animated and interactive shaders:** prompt the agent to build a shader effect or fill that incorporates motion and reacts to mouse movements. - **Community publishing:** publish generative plugins and shaders to the Figma Community for others to use. - **Publish to organization:** share private generative plugins and shaders across an organization to standardize effects or tool usage, available on the **Organization** and **Enterprise** plans. - **Code viewer:** view and download the code for any shader, and for generative plugins you've built, directly in Figma. - **MCP updates:** view and edit generative plugins and shaders from a third-party agent via Figma's MCP server. Copying a frame with shaders applied into an external agent now renders those shaders correctly in the generated React code.
