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.
