## Choose when

### Choose cc-switch if…

- cc-switch is primarily Rust; cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to cc-switch: ai-tools, desktop-app, hermes, hermes-agent.
- More GitHub stars (116k vs 6.9k) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp if…

- cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp is primarily JavaScript; cc-switch is Rust.
- Tags unique to cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp: agent, agentic, agentic-ai, ai.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use cc-switch

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
