TL;DR
Get more context from your Figma data
- Same MCP server, wired into Databox. The Figma connector links Figma's own MCP server to your AI Analyst, added as a Custom connector since access is still gated to approved clients.
- More than the numbers: your AI Analyst reads the actual design file, frame, or comment behind a product metric, not just a change in a number.
- Sharper answers: it can explain a shift in engagement or conversion using the real design change, not a guess.

The Databox difference
Why connecting MCP through Databox is different
You can connect this same MCP server directly to any AI tool. Here’s what changes when you connect it through Databox instead.
One tool, limited to MCP data
- Only sees what this MCP server exposes, nothing more
- No connection to your CRM, chat, or revenue data
- Not wired into your business context, so nothing runs automatically
With Databox
Enriched data, the whole story
- The MCP connector brings in this data, same as anywhere else
- Plus your other Databox integrations, already connected
- Your AI Analyst reasons over the whole story, not just this one tool
- Runs automatically with Routines, reusable in every Skill

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official Figma MCP server?
Yes. Figma runs its own remote MCP server at mcp.figma.com. Access is currently limited to a list of approved AI clients, with a waitlist for others.
Does connecting Figma cost extra?
No. MCP connectors are included with your AI Analyst on every plan that includes it.
Does it work with ChatGPT and Cursor?
Figma's MCP server supports the clients on its own approved list, which includes tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. Check Figma's current list before connecting.
Is my Figma data secure?
Figma's MCP server uses OAuth, so your AI Analyst only sees what your Figma account already has access to, and you can revoke access at any time from your Figma account settings.
What is an MCP connector?
An MCP connector links your AI Analyst to an external tool through the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI assistants to real business systems. Once connected, your AI Analyst can read (and soon act on) the records behind your metrics - deals, tickets, conversations, campaigns - without you switching tabs.
How is an MCP connector different from a Databox integration?
A Databox integration brings your metrics into Databox so you can track, visualize and report on them. An MCP connector gives your AI Analyst access to the records behind those metrics - the deal, the ticket, the ad, the Slack thread - so it can explain why a number moved and act on it in that tool. Many tools, like HubSpot and Facebook Ads, have both, and they work best together: the integration shows what changed, the connector shows why.
Can I connect any tool, or only the ones in the connector library?
Any tool with an MCP server. You can pick an official connector built by Databox, then click connect and sign in. Or you can add a custom connector: paste the server URL, choose how it signs in (OAuth, API key, bearer token or none), name it and connect.
Is my data safe when I connect a custom MCP server?
You decide what each connector can do. Every tool on a connector has its own setting - Always allow, Needs approval or Blocked - and every tool starts on Needs approval. Official connectors are reviewed by Databox. Custom servers are not, and once connected, a server can access your AI Analyst's content and share data outside Databox. Only connect servers you trust. You can change permissions or disconnect at any time.
Do MCP connectors cost extra?
No. MCP connectors are included with your AI Analyst at no extra cost.
What can my AI Analyst do with a connected tool today?
It can read and act. Read tools let it look up deals, tickets, campaigns and messages to explain why a metric moved, answer a question or run a Routine. Write tools let it take action in the tool, like updating a deal stage, sending a Slack message or creating a task. Every action follows the permissions you set, and new tools start on Needs approval.
