Figma partners with OpenAI to bake in support for Codex
Summary
Figma is integrating OpenAI's Codex, an AI coding tool, to let users create and edit designs while working in their coding environments. The integration uses Figma's MCP (Model Context Protocol, a standardized way for AI models to access external tools and data) server to let users move easily between design files and code, allowing both engineers and designers to work more collaboratively without switching between separate applications.
