Validate AI-built front-ends against their Figma design — without the screenshot-diff thrash.

A real run on a 360-node Figma frame: designfit_extract reads the frame from its link, then designfit_validate scores three build iterations, 87 to 89 to 100 pass. No screenshot diffing anywhere in it.

designfit is an MCP server + Claude Code skill that checks a rendered implementation against its Figma design and hands the coding agent a machine-actionable fix-list. It compares design tokens and geometry (element boxes relative to the screen root) — not raw pixels — so font-rendering noise never makes the agent oscillate. Deterministic in, deterministic out.

Why geometry, not pixels

Screenshot-diffing an AI-built UI against a Figma frame thrashes: anti-aliasing and sub-pixel shifts read as "still wrong," so the agent fixes forever. designfit compares what a designer actually catches — wrong colors, wrong sizes, misalignment, missing elements — as deterministic measurements with explicit tolerances. Same input, same output, no oscillation.

Install

Claude Code — as a plugin:

/plugin marketplace add as9978/designfit
/plugin install designfit@designfit

Then once, to fetch the browser the measurement engine drives:

bash

npx playwright install chromium

The plugin registers the designfit_extract and designfit_validate MCP tools and the designfit-fidelity-loop skill together, and asks once for a Figma personal access token (optional: without it, extract accepts pasted /nodes JSON).

Any other MCP client — manually:

bash

npm install -g designfit
npx playwright install chromium

json

{ "mcpServers": { "designfit": { "command": "designfit", "env": { "FIGMA_TOKEN": "<token>" } } } }

Windows: some MCP clients can't spawn a bare designfit (it resolves to designfit.cmd). Use { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "designfit"] }, or point at the binary directly with { "command": "node", "args": ["<absolute-path>/node_modules/designfit/dist/index.js"] }. The plugin install above already uses the npx form, so it isn't affected.

Use

Ask your agent to implement a Figma frame and give it the frame's link. The designfit-fidelity-loop skill drives: designfit_extract → build → tag elements with data-designfit-id → designfit_validate → fix → repeat until pass → strip the tags.

If you installed the plugin, the skill is already registered. On a manual install it isn't: skills aren't auto-loaded from an npm dependency, so copy the one that ships at skill/SKILL.md into your agent's skills directory (for Claude Code: .claude/skills/designfit-fidelity-loop/SKILL.md) so it can be discovered.

Two tools:

designfit_extract takes a Figma link ({ url }), or { fileKey, nodeId }, or a pasted GET /v1/files/:key/nodes body ({ nodes }), plus optional maxDepth, and returns { design, componentMap, viewport }. Fetching needs FIGMA_TOKEN in the MCP server's environment. Hidden nodes are skipped and a frame made only of vectors is one leaf.
designfit_validate takes { url, viewport, design, componentMap, tolerances? } and returns { pass, score, violations, unmapped }.
