Connect Frontitude to the Figma agent so it designs with your team's approved copy instead of placeholder or invented text. Once your Figma admin publishes it, connecting takes about a minute.
Once connected, the agent can:
- Find and reuse approved copy from your Frontitude library while it designs
- Check the text in a frame against your copy library and terminology
- Add new copy from a design to Frontitude as drafts for your UX writers to review
- Leave review comments on copy in Frontitude
Before you start
- Check you have a Full seat on your company's Figma (Organization or Enterprise plan) and edit access to the file you're working in.
- Confirm with your Figma admin that AI features and custom connectors are turned on.
- Make sure AI tools integration is turned on in your Frontitude workspace from Settings → AI.
Connect Frontitude
- Open a Figma Design file and start a chat with the Figma agent.
- In the prompt box, click Add context, hover over Connectors, then select Manage.
- Find Frontitude and click Connect.
- Sign in to Frontitude with your work account and approve access.
- Turn on the tools you need. Tools that write to Frontitude are off by default; turn them on only if your team's review process allows it.
- Set each tool you turned on to Ask to run or Always run. The agent can't use a tool until one is set.
Don't see Frontitude, or no Connectors option? Your Figma admin needs to set it up. Send them the steps in For admins below.
To check it works, ask the agent: "Find our approved button copy in Frontitude."
Example prompts
The agent works best when the prompt names a frame and what to do with its copy.
- Replace placeholder text: "Replace the placeholder text in this frame with our approved copy from Frontitude."
- Design with real copy: "Design a checkout error state using our existing error messages from Frontitude."
- Check consistency: "Check this screen's copy against Frontitude and flag anything that doesn't match our terminology."
- Find past copy: "How have we worded 'payment failed' before?"
- Send new copy for review (write tools): "Add the new copy in this frame to Frontitude as drafts for review."
- Leave feedback (write tools): "Comment on the 'Delete account' copy in Frontitude asking for a softer tone."
For admins: publish Frontitude to your organization
- Go to Admin → Settings → Connections → MCP connectors and turn on Allow custom connectors. AI features must also be on.
- In any Design file, start a Figma agent chat and click Add context → Connectors → Manage.
- On the Created by you tab, click Create. Enter Frontitude as the name and
https://mcp.frontitude.com/mcpas the server URL, leave Advanced settings empty, then click Create. - Click Connect and sign in to Frontitude to test it.
- Open the connector's options, click Publish, then confirm.
After publishing, everyone in the organization sees Frontitude and signs in with their own Frontitude account, so the agent only sees copy each person can access. Only the admin who published it can unpublish it.
If something doesn't work
- No Connectors option in the agent — AI features or custom connectors are off for your organization. Ask your Figma admin.
- Frontitude isn't in the list — your admin hasn't published it yet. Share the For admins steps.
- The connector connects but the agent ignores it — set at least one tool to Ask to run or Always run.
- The agent can't edit or add copy — write tools are off by default. Turn them on in the connector's tool list, if your team allows it.
- Frontitude shows the wrong workspace — you signed in with another Frontitude account. Disconnect, sign out of Frontitude in your browser, then connect again with your work account.
- Does it change my Figma file? — only when you ask it to. Frontitude provides copy and context; the Figma agent makes the edits.
