Cursor figma mcp cannot work with composer model

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

when i use figma mcp with cursor, cursor cannot read the figma link and shows error [ We’re having trouble finding the resource you requested. If the problem persists, please contact support ] so i turn off composer model toggle in settings menu and then it worked.

Steps to Reproduce

activate Figma local MCP server → enter a Figma link in chat pane → Cursor cannot get Figma design

Expected Behavior

get figma design

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Version Information

i use 2.6.20 pro plan

For AI issues: which model did you use?

composer

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, this is a known issue. The Composer model doesn’t handle responses from MCP servers correctly, including the Figma MCP. There’s a similar thread with the same behavior: Composer 1.5 cannot see full response from Figma official MCP

You already found the right workaround, turn off the Composer model. For Figma MCP tasks, it’s better to use Claude Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6, or GPT 5.3 Codex. MCP works fine with those.

The team is aware of this limitation. Your report helps us prioritize it.
