You can build UI components in Claude Code, push them to Figma as editable frames, explore and annotate designs visually, then round-trip updates back to code. The setup requires connecting Claude Code to Figma's remote MCP server and installing the Figma plugin. The workflow is described as mode-based rather than continuous switching: use Claude Code for rapid iteration and testing, then shift to Figma for visual exploration and team collaboration. Figma's pro tier is recommended for full API access. A separate tool called Pencil is also briefly mentioned as a free alternative for visualizing live canvas generations alongside Claude Code. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
