Figma
Figma connects through OAuth 2.0. You authorize Modiva from Figma's own consent screen — no personal access token to paste and no developer app to register. Modiva can then read files, projects, components, styles, metadata and version history, and export node images across the files you authorize, through one unified API and MCP server. The connection is read-only: the Figma REST API has no write path for design content. Access tokens last 90 days and Modiva refreshes them automatically.
Bevor Sie beginnen
- A Figma account with access to the files, projects or teams you want to automate.
- The file key, project id or team id you'll work with — all readable from the Figma URL.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Einrichtung
- 1
Sign in to Modiva
Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.
The Modiva dashboard — your home for connections, posts and analytics. - 2
Open Connections → New connection
In the left sidebar choose Connections, then click New connection. You'll see the full catalogue of platforms grouped by category (Social, Ads and CRM).
The connection picker. Use the search box or category filter to find your platform. - 3
Select Figma
Click the Figma card. Modiva redirects you to Figma's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on Figma, never on Modiva.
Click Connect on the Figma card to start the secure OAuth flow. - 4
Authorize Modiva on Figma
Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.
Figma's consent screen. Approve the requested scopes to continue. - 5
You're connected
Figma now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.
A healthy connection shows a green dot and the connected account name.

Fehlerbehebung & FAQ
Where is my Figma password stored?
Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.
My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?
Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.
How do I disconnect?
Open Connections, click the Figma row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside Figma's own app settings.
Can Modiva edit my designs?
No — the connection is read-only. The Figma REST API can read files, nodes, components, styles, metadata and versions and export images, but it has no write path for design content, so Modiva can't change frames or layers.
Where do I find a file key, project id or team id?
All three are in the Figma URL. A file is figma.com/file/<file_key>/..., a project's file list is figma.com/files/project/<project_id>/..., and a team is figma.com/files/team/<team_id>/.... You pass these to the tools as arguments — Modiva doesn't ask for them when you connect.
My token keeps needing refresh — is that a problem?
No. Figma access tokens last 90 days by design. Modiva stores a refresh token and renews access automatically in the background, so you won't be asked to reconnect unless you revoke access in Figma.
