Where data is processedFigma's system card states that Figma stores Design Agent content in the United States and that model providers do not store it at rest. On Enterprise with localized file hosting, AI output in files is stored in the organization's selected location; AI chats are not localized, and localization covers data at rest only. Requests to AI model providers may be routed through global data centers, processed only in volatile memory, with the cache cleared within two hours. source, source 2, source 3, source 4, source 5 · checked October 31, 2026

Connections to outside MCP servers

The Figma agent and Figma Make act as MCP clients. Featured connectors (vetted by Figma) are on all plans; custom connectors to any remote MCP server need a paid plan. On Organization and Enterprise, organization admins turn featured and custom connectors on or off for the whole organization (Admin > Settings > Connections > MCP connectors in Figma), choose who can create custom connectors, and publish them; workspace-level controls are not yet available. Write tools on custom connectors are off by default. source, source 2, source 3, source 4, source 5, source 6 · checked October 31, 2026
