MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
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.
Playwright MCP
Playwright MCP server. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright. This server enables large language models (LLMs) to interact with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots, bypassing the need for screenshots or visually-tuned models. The server is designed to be fast, lightweight, and deterministic, offering LLM-friendly tooling and a rich set of browser automation capabilities via MCP tools. It supports standalone operation, containerized deployments, and integration with a variety of MCP clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Copilot, Cursor, Goose, Windsurf, and others).
