Qdrant MCP Server
MCP Servers
TaglineMCP server that feeds Figma layout, styles and components into AI coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code.Official Qdrant MCP server that turns a vector database into a semantic memory layer for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client.

PricingFree· Free and open source (MIT). Optional Framelink hosted extras are gated behind a waitlist with no published pricing.Free· Free and open source (Apache-2.0). Qdrant itself can be self-hosted for free or used via Qdrant Cloud (free tier available, paid plans from ~$25/mo for managed clusters).
Model—FastEmbed (default: sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2); pairs with any MCP-capable LLM such as Claude 3.5/4, GPT-4o, or local models

Pros
  • Descriptive JSON output preserves your codebase conventions instead of forcing auto-generated React/Tailwind
  • Roughly 25% smaller payload than Figma's official MCP, which matters for context-window-limited agents
  • Deduplicates repeated styles and correctly represents nested component instances
  • Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline — any MCP client, not locked to one IDE
  • One-line npx install; only a Figma personal access token is required
  • MIT licensed, active repo (~15k stars), self-hostable with no vendor lock-in
  • Keeps token names and component props, so generated code can reference your design system
  • Official, actively maintained by the Qdrant team with 1.4k+ stars and frequent releases
  • Two-tool surface (store/find) is small enough that models actually use it correctly
  • Bundled FastEmbed means no separate OpenAI/Cohere embedding key is required to get started
  • Configurable tool descriptions let you rebrand the same server as memory, code search, or docs lookup
  • Works across the major MCP clients: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and custom agents
  • Apache-2.0 with local, Docker, and uvx install paths including a fully offline QDRANT_LOCAL_PATH mode
  • Read-only mode makes it safe to expose a curated knowledge base without letting the model write to it
Cons
  • Read-only — cannot push code changes back to Figma or edit designs
  • Quality of output still depends on how disciplined the Figma file is (auto-layout, named styles, components)
  • Requires a Figma personal access token per developer; no team-level auth flow
  • Framelink hosted tier is a waitlist with no public pricing, so long-term commercial model is unclear
  • Very large or deeply nested files can still blow past model context if you request whole pages instead of frames
  • Only FastEmbed is supported today, so you cannot plug in OpenAI, Cohere, or Voyage embeddings without forking
  • Just two tools: no filtering, hybrid search, payload updates, or collection management surfaced to the model
  • Single active collection per server process; multi-collection agents need multiple server instances or wrapping
  • Assumes you already run and secure a Qdrant instance (self-hosted or Cloud) — not a turnkey managed product
  • Chunking, ingestion pipelines, and re-ranking are entirely your problem; this is a thin bridge, not a RAG framework
