# Figma limits MCP server access to whitelisted clients, shutting out Pi

Figma has restricted access to its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so that only a whitelist of approved clients can connect, leaving the client Pi excluded. The move limits how third-party AI and developer tools can pull Figma design data. It reflects growing vendor control over MCP integrations, which could set a precedent for other platforms.
