description: Work with Figma .fig design files and the running OpenPencil editor — inspect structure, query nodes, analyze design tokens, export images/SVG/JSX, and modify designs programmatically. Use when asked to open, inspect, export, analyze, or edit .fig files, or to control the running OpenPencil app.

# OpenPencil
|
||||
|
||||
CLI and MCP server for .fig design files. Two modes of operation:
|
||||
|
||||
- **App mode** — connect to the running OpenPencil editor (omit the file argument)
|
||||
- **Headless mode** — work with .fig files directly (pass a file path)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# App mode — operates on the document open in the editor
|
||||
bun open-pencil tree
|
||||
|
||||
# Headless mode — operates on a .fig file
|
||||
bun open-pencil tree design.fig
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The app exposes an automation bridge on `http://127.0.0.1:7600` when running. The CLI auto-connects to it when no file path is provided.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Inspect
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Document overview — pages, node counts, fonts
|
||||
bun open-pencil info design.fig
|
||||
|
||||
# Node tree — shows hierarchy with types and sizes
|
||||
bun open-pencil tree design.fig
|
||||
bun open-pencil tree --page "Components" --depth 3 # app mode, specific page
|
||||
|
||||
# List pages
|
||||
bun open-pencil pages design.fig
|
||||
|
||||
# Detailed node properties — fills, strokes, effects, layout, text
|
||||
bun open-pencil node design.fig --id 1:23
|
||||
bun open-pencil node --id 1:23 # app mode
|
||||
|
||||
# List design variables and collections
|
||||
bun open-pencil variables design.fig
|
||||
bun open-pencil variables --collection "Colors" --type COLOR
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Search
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Find by name (partial match, case-insensitive)
|
||||
bun open-pencil find design.fig --name "Button"
|
||||
|
||||
# Find by type
|
||||
bun open-pencil find --type FRAME # app mode
|
||||
bun open-pencil find design.fig --type TEXT --page "Home"
|
||||
|
||||
# Combine filters
|
||||
bun open-pencil find design.fig --name "Card" --type COMPONENT --limit 50
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Node types: `FRAME`, `TEXT`, `RECTANGLE`, `ELLIPSE`, `VECTOR`, `GROUP`, `COMPONENT`, `COMPONENT_SET`, `INSTANCE`, `SECTION`, `LINE`, `STAR`, `POLYGON`, `SLICE`, `BOOLEAN_OPERATION`
|
||||
|
||||
### Export
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# PNG (default)
|
||||
bun open-pencil export design.fig -o hero.png
|
||||
bun open-pencil export -o hero.png # app mode — exports from running editor
|
||||
|
||||
# Specific node at 2x
|
||||
bun open-pencil export design.fig --node 1:23 -s 2 -o button@2x.png
|
||||
|
||||
# JPG with quality
|
||||
bun open-pencil export design.fig -f jpg -q 85 -o preview.jpg
|
||||
|
||||
# SVG
|
||||
bun open-pencil export design.fig -f svg --node 1:23 -o icon.svg
|
||||
|
||||
# JSX (OpenPencil format — renderable back into .fig)
|
||||
bun open-pencil export design.fig -f jsx -o component.jsx
|
||||
|
||||
# JSX (Tailwind — React component with Tailwind classes)
|
||||
bun open-pencil export design.fig -f jsx --style tailwind -o component.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
# Page thumbnail
|
||||
bun open-pencil export design.fig --thumbnail --width 1920 --height 1080
|
||||
|
||||
# Specific page
|
||||
bun open-pencil export --page "Components" -o components.png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Analyze
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Color palette — usage frequency, similar colors
|
||||
bun open-pencil analyze colors design.fig
|
||||
bun open-pencil analyze colors --similar --threshold 10 # app mode
|
||||
|
||||
# Typography — font families, sizes, weights
|
||||
bun open-pencil analyze typography design.fig --group-by size
|
||||
|
||||
# Spacing — gap and padding values, grid compliance
|
||||
bun open-pencil analyze spacing design.fig --grid 8
|
||||
|
||||
# Clusters — repeated patterns that could be components
|
||||
bun open-pencil analyze clusters design.fig --min-count 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Eval (Figma Plugin API)
|
||||
|
||||
Execute JavaScript against the document using the full Figma Plugin API:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Read-only — query the document
|
||||
bun open-pencil eval design.fig -c 'figma.currentPage.findAll(n => n.type === "TEXT").length'
|
||||
|
||||
# App mode — modifies the live document in the editor
|
||||
bun open-pencil eval -c '
|
||||
const buttons = figma.currentPage.findAll(n => n.name === "Button");
|
||||
buttons.forEach(b => { b.cornerRadius = 8 });
|
||||
buttons.length + " buttons updated"
|
||||
'
|
||||
|
||||
# Modify and save to file
|
||||
bun open-pencil eval design.fig -w -c '
|
||||
const texts = figma.currentPage.findAll(n => n.type === "TEXT");
|
||||
texts.forEach(t => { t.fontSize = 16 });
|
||||
'
|
||||
|
||||
# Save to a different file
|
||||
bun open-pencil eval design.fig -o modified.fig -c '...'
|
||||
|
||||
# Read code from stdin
|
||||
echo 'figma.currentPage.children.map(n => n.name)' | bun open-pencil eval design.fig --stdin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The eval environment provides `figma` with the Figma Plugin API: `figma.currentPage`, `figma.createFrame()`, `figma.createText()`, `figma.getNodeById()`, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### JSON Output
|
||||
|
||||
Every command supports `--json` for machine-readable output:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun open-pencil info design.fig --json
|
||||
bun open-pencil find --name "Button" --json # app mode
|
||||
bun open-pencil analyze colors design.fig --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## MCP Server
|
||||
|
||||
### Stdio (Claude Desktop, Cursor)
|
||||
|
||||
Add to your MCP config:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"open-pencil": {
|
||||
"command": "npx",
|
||||
"args": ["openpencil-mcp"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP (multi-session, remote)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PORT=3100
|
||||
export OPENPENCIL_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=secret # optional auth
|
||||
export OPENPENCIL_MCP_CORS_ORIGIN="*" # optional CORS
|
||||
export OPENPENCIL_MCP_ROOT=/path/to/files # restrict file access
|
||||
|
||||
npx openpencil-mcp-http
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Open a file** — `open_file { path: "/path/to/design.fig" }` or `new_document {}`
|
||||
2. **Query** — `get_page_tree`, `find_nodes`, `get_node`, `list_pages`, etc.
|
||||
3. **Modify** — `render` (JSX), `set_fill`, `set_layout`, `create_shape`, etc.
|
||||
4. **Save** — `save_file { path: "/path/to/output.fig" }`
|
||||
|
||||

### JSX Rendering (via `render` tool or `eval`)
|
||||
|
||||
Create entire component trees in one call:
|
||||
|
||||
```jsx
|
||||
<Frame name="Card" w={320} h="hug" flex="col" gap={16} p={24} bg="#FFF" rounded={16}>
|
||||
<Text size={18} weight="bold">Title</Text>
|
||||
<Text size={14} color="#666">Description text</Text>
|
||||
<Frame flex="row" gap={8}>
|
||||
<Frame w={80} h={36} bg="#3B82F6" rounded={8} justify="center" items="center">
|
||||
<Text size={14} color="#FFF" weight="600">Action</Text>
|
||||
</Frame>
|
||||
</Frame>
|
||||
</Frame>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Elements:** `Frame`, `Rectangle`, `Ellipse`, `Text`, `Line`, `Star`, `Polygon`, `Vector`, `Group`, `Instance`
|
||||
|
||||
**Layout shorthands:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Prop | Meaning |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `w`, `h` | Width, height (number or `"hug"` / `"fill"`) |
|
||||
| `flex` | `"row"` or `"col"` |
|
||||
| `gap` | Item spacing |
|
||||
| `p`, `px`, `py`, `pt`, `pr`, `pb`, `pl` | Padding |
|
||||
| `justify` | `"start"`, `"center"`, `"end"`, `"between"` |
|
||||
| `items` | `"start"`, `"center"`, `"end"` |
|
||||
| `bg` | Fill color (hex) |
|
||||
| `rounded` | Corner radius |
|
||||
| `stroke`, `strokeWidth` | Stroke color and weight |
|
||||
| `opacity` | 0–1 |
|
||||
| `size`, `weight`, `font`, `color` | Text properties |
|
||||
|
||||
## Node IDs
|
||||
|
||||
Format: `session:local` (e.g., `1:23`). Get IDs from `find`, `tree`, or `node` commands.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Omit the file path to work with the document open in the running OpenPencil editor
|
||||
- Start with `info` to understand the document structure
|
||||
- Use `tree --depth 2` for a quick overview without overwhelming output
|
||||
- Use `find --type COMPONENT` to discover reusable components
|
||||
- Use `analyze colors --similar` to find near-duplicate colors to merge
|
||||
- Export specific nodes with `--node` instead of full pages for faster results
|
||||
- The `eval` command gives you the full Figma Plugin API for anything the CLI doesn't cover
|
||||
- Use `--json` when piping output to other tools
|
||||
- In app mode, `eval` modifications are reflected live in the editor
