Figma-Context-MCP: MCP server for providing Figma layout info to AI coding agents. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose ghidra-mcp over Figma-Context-MCP? Choose ghidra-mcp over Figma-Context-MCP when ghidra-mcp is primarily Java; Figma-Context-MCP is TypeScript; License: ghidra-mcp is Apache-2.0, Figma-Context-MCP is MIT; Tags unique to ghidra-mcp: binary-analysis, ghidra, ghidra-extension, java; When working on projects that benefit from integration with over 200 AI-powered reverse engineering tools. ### When should I choose Figma-Context-MCP over ghidra-mcp? Choose Figma-Context-MCP over ghidra-mcp when Figma-Context-MCP is primarily TypeScript; ghidra-mcp is Java; License: Figma-Context-MCP is MIT, ghidra-mcp is Apache-2.0; Requirements: Development and operation require proficiency with TypeScript.; Tags unique to Figma-Context-MCP: cursor, figma, typescript; Also covers AI Agents; Figma-Context-MCP ships an MCP server manifest; When you are using Cursor or a similar AI coding agent in conjunction with Figma and need accurate layout information extracted from your designs. ### When should I avoid ghidra-mcp? When working in environments where less than 200 reverse engineering tools would suffice If you do not need lazy tool loading or convention enforcement capabilities that Ghidra MCP specifically offers ### When should I avoid Figma-Context-MCP? Do not use if you are exclusively working on projects without a requirement for AI intervention in the coding process based on Figma designs. If you do not utilize Figma as your primary design tool, or if your workflow does not include TypeScript-based services, this may not be suitable. ### Is ghidra-mcp or Figma-Context-MCP more popular on GitHub? Figma-Context-MCP has more GitHub stars (15,711 vs 3,472). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are ghidra-mcp and Figma-Context-MCP open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (ghidra-mcp: Apache-2.0, Figma-Context-MCP: MIT). ### Where can I find alternatives to ghidra-mcp or Figma-Context-MCP? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [ghidra-mcp alternatives](/tools/bethington-ghidra-mcp/alternatives) and [Figma-Context-MCP alternatives](/tools/glips-figma-context-mcp/alternatives) ([ghidra-mcp markdown twin](/tools/bethington-ghidra-mcp/alternatives.md), [Figma-Context-MCP markdown twin](/tools/glips-figma-context-mcp/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/bethington-ghidra-mcp-vs-glips-figma-context-mcp.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, ghidra-mcp or Figma-Context-MCP? ghidra-mcp: Very active.
