Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients

Figma has limited access to its Model Context Protocol server to a whitelist of approved clients, excluding Pi. The move, announced by a Figma employee, restricts which AI-powered development tools can connect to Figma's API for design data. Developers are debating whether the tighter controls protect the platform or close off an open ecosystem for AI tooling.
Why now: Developers building AI tools on Figma's MCP server are concerned that the whitelist policy cuts off third-party clients like Pi.
