Figma drops native motion timeline with MCP support
Figma introduces Motion, a native timeline-based animation system built directly into the canvas. The update integrates animation alongside components and variables, offering seamless code export and MCP compatibility for AI coding agents.
Figma just eliminated the need for third-party animation plugins by bringing a fully native motion timeline to the canvas. Dev Mode now displays full timelines, easing curves, and keyframes to bridge the handoff gap for complex motion. Animations can be exported directly to CSS, JSON, React, and motion.dev. The system includes AI-assisted generation to quickly scaffold animations based on design context. Crucially for the AI era, it is MCP-compatible, allowing coding agents to ingest animated frames with full motion context.
