MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
Pipedream MCP Server
Pipedream MCP Server is a reference implementation for self-hosting a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It showcases how to manage and serve MCP-based apps and tools in your own environment, providing you with a way to run MCP servers locally or within your organization. Note that this MCP server is a reference implementation and is no longer actively maintained; for production workloads, Pipedream recommends using the remote MCP server, which offers hosted reliability and scaling. The server supports two primary modes and integrates with Pipedream Connect for authentication and API management, enabling automatic app discovery and credential storage with enterprise-grade security.
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.
