Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
Claude Skills MCP Server
Claude Skills MCP Server is an MCP server that enables intelligent search and retrieval of Claude Agent Skills using vector embeddings and semantic similarity. It implements a progressive disclosure architecture so AI applications can discover and load skills in stages (metadata → full content → files) while remaining fast and local. The server can load skills from multiple sources, including Official Anthropic Skills, K-Dense AI Scientific Skills, and local directories, providing a zero-configuration experience out of the box for Cursor or standalone usage. The architecture is split into a lightweight frontend and a heavy backend, enabling instant startup and background backend download, with no API keys required and the ability to connect to remote hosted backends if desired.
Figma MCP server
The Figma MCP server enables design context delivery from Figma files to AI agents and code editors, empowering teams to generate code directly from design selections. It supports both a remote hosted server and a locally hosted desktop server, allowing seamless integration with popular editors through Code Connect and a suite of tools that extract design context, metadata, variables, and more. This guide covers enabling the MCP server, configuring clients (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, and others), and using a curated set of MCP tools to fetch structured design data for faster, more accurate code generation. It also explains best practices, prompts, and integration workflows that help teams align generated output with their design systems. The documentation includes concrete JSON examples for configuring servers in editors like VS Code and Cursor, as well as command examples for Claude Code integration and plugin installation.
