Design-system-forward Figma MCP with harness engineering guardrails and model-specific benchmarks. 10 contributors, very active development, but near-zero independent validation.
Where it wins
Only tool publishing model-specific design quality benchmarks for Figma MCP
Harness engineering steers agents toward Figma design best practices
10 contributors and multiple daily commits — very active development
Where to be skeptical
HN Show got only 2 points / 2 comments — community hasn't noticed
No independent comparisons, reviews, or practitioner testimonials found
Built on top of cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp — derivative, not foundational
Editorial verdict
Emerging. Only tool publishing model-specific design quality benchmarks. Harness engineering angle is genuinely differentiated, but HN Show got only 2 points and no independent reviews found.

</div>Project Status: Vibma is no longer under active development. Figma has launched native MCP capabilities through Figma for Agents, and the Vibma plugin was not accepted to the Figma marketplace due to "overlap" with this first-party offering.
Vibma is not an official Figma tool. For production use, we recommend Figma's native MCP integration and encourage you to follow Figma's official updates for the latest agent capabilities.
The source code remains available under MIT for learning and reference. We recommend reading Figma's Terms of Service before using Vibma to ensure compliance with their platform policies.
Vibma helps AI agents produce structurally sound Figma files — proper auto-layout, design tokens, component architecture, and reusable design-system patterns.
Vibma works with any MCP-capable LLM, but model quality matters.

All core tools work without API keys. Two optional integrations add library discovery and stock photos:
| Env var | Enables | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
FIGMA_API_TOKEN | Library — discover published team library components and styles | Figma Settings > Security > Personal access tokens |
FIGMA_TEAM_ID | Default team for library discovery | The number in figma.com/files/team/<ID>/... |
PEXELS_API_KEY | Images — search and place stock photos | pexels.com/api/key (free) |
The Figma PAT requires two scopes: File content (Read) and Team library content (Read). See the setup guides for step-by-step instructions with screenshots.
