MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
MCP Server Templates (Legacy)
MCP Server Templates (Legacy) is a flexible platform that provides Docker and Kubernetes backends, a lightweight CLI (mcpt), and client utilities for seamless MCP integration. It enables you to spin up servers from templates, route requests through a single endpoint with load balancing, and support both deployed (HTTP) and local (stdio) transports — all with sensible defaults and YAML-based configs. This legacy variant lays the groundwork for MCP integrations, while offering a clear upgrade path to the newer MCP Platform. The project emphasizes migration guidance to keep existing configurations working as you move to enhanced architecture and capabilities.
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.
