ServiceNow and Figma Launch Strategic Collaboration to Turn Design Vision Into Enterprise Transformation | Figma Blog (opens in new tab)

ServiceNow and Figma have launched an MCP-powered integration that turns Figma designs directly into enterprise applications. By using a Figma design link as a prompt for ServiceNow’s Build Agent, teams can automate the transition from visual concept to secure, scalable software. The collaboration aims to combine Figma’s design context with ServiceNow’s AI workflows, governance, and platform intelligence. ## From Design to Enterprise Application - Developers can provide a Figma design link directly to the ServiceNow integrated development environment. - ServiceNow’s Build Agent interprets layouts, components, styles, and other design details. - The agent generates a functional enterprise application rather than merely reproducing an image. - The process is intended to reduce manual coding, improve consistency, and accelerate development from minutes-long design-to-build workflows. ## Powered by Figma’s MCP Server - Figma’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server gives ServiceNow structured design context. - This deeper understanding supports higher-fidelity translations of designs into working applications. - The integration connects design intent with production code, helping designers, product builders, and professional developers collaborate more effectively. ## Security and Governance - The integration uses OAuth 2.0 authentication and secure server-to-server communication. - Access tokens are stored within the customer’s ServiceNow instance to support privacy and compliance. - Applications created through Build Agent inherit ServiceNow capabilities such as permissions, audit trails, version control, and enterprise governance. ## Availability and Broader Impact - The integration is available in the latest ServiceNow Build Agent release through the ServiceNow Store. - Customers must request access after installation. - ServiceNow and Figma position the collaboration as a way to deliver AI-powered experiences faster while preserving human-centered design and enterprise-scale reliability. - Figma’s CTO emphasizes that design quality will remain a key differentiator as AI-generated software becomes more common. Organizations using both platforms can now shorten the path from prototype to production while maintaining security, governance, and design fidelity. The integration is especially suited to teams that want to accelerate enterprise application development without losing the original design intent.
