I recently shared about MCP servers and how they help AI get better context from real systems.
Now, here’s one way I’ve actually seen them used in frontend workflows.
By connecting Figma and Visual Studio Code using MCP servers, you can select a Figma component, generate a structured prompt from its design context, and paste that prompt directly into VS Code Copilot.
Instead of screenshots or long explanations:
🔹 MCP reads the Figma component structure, spacing, tokens, and variants.
🔹 A prompt is generated from that context
🔹 Copilot uses it to generate UI code that’s much closer to the design

For frontend developers, this feels like a much more realistic way to use AI day to day — less guessing, more context. 🚀
