# Testing the Figma MCP for write: drawing a flow from a .md, a note by Arthur Galvão

> Jul 24, 2026. Posted on [X](https://x.com/arthurgalvaorl/status/2080608949058068841), [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7486374642891386880/)

Markdown version of https://arthurgalvao.work/notes/figma-mcp-for-write, the same content as the page, for AI agents and language models.

Today I tested the Figma MCP through Claude Code to draw a commercial flow from a .md file. It worked really well.

I'd heard the Figma MCP wasn't running well for write operations, only read. Not what I saw here: Claude read the markdown and built the flow directly on the canvas.

This opens some really nice doors for building processes, user flows and similar artifacts straight from plain documentation.

Worth the test.
