Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients

Original: Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi

Figma has limited access to its Model Context Protocol server to a whitelist of approved clients, a move that excludes Pi. The restriction means developers relying on Pi to connect AI tools to Figma files will lose access unless it is added to the approved list. Developers are debating the change, with criticism that whitelist-only MCP access undercuts the protocol's promise of open interoperability between AI assistants and design tools.

Why now: Developers are reacting to a sudden limitation on MCP interoperability that cuts off a popular client.
