OpenAI Codex is now integrated with Figma MCP (Model Context Protocol) — and this may signal the end of manual designer–developer handoff. In this complete step-by-step Figma MCP setup tutorial for designers, I show you exactly how to install and configure the Figma MCP server, connect OpenAI Codex to Figma, and activate the Code to Canvas workflow for real-time collaboration between design and development.
