MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
External MCP Server
Neurolink includes an External MCP Server capability, enabling seamless integration with external Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This feature loads and manages external MCP servers from a dedicated configuration file (.mcp-config.json), enables real JSON-RPC based communication, and supports end-to-end tool execution within the NeuroLink platform. It is designed for multi-provider AI workflows, allowing providers to delegate tool execution to external servers while preserving type safety, robust error handling, and deterministic behavior. The documentation highlights how to configure external MCP servers, register and discover tools, and perform end-to-end tool execution through the CLI, ensuring a production-ready MCP ecosystem.
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.
