Members of your organization can use connectors in Figma Make to access external data sources via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). There are two types of connecters available:
- Partner connectors are integrations vetted by Figma and include MCP servers from Notion, Asana, Linear, GitHub, Atlassian, and more.
- Custom connectors let users connect to any MCP server, including internal tools and private data sources. These connectors aren’t vetted by Figma. By default, only organization admins can create custom connectors, but you can change this setting to allow members to create them as well. Learn more about security best practices for creating custom connectors.
How it works
- If AI features are disabled in your organization, connectors aren’t available in Figma Make.
- Organization admins can enable or disable partner connectors and custom connectors for the entire organization. Workspace-level controls aren’t yet available on the Enterprise plan.
- When a connector type is disabled, all related UI elements for adding or managing that connector type are removed.
- Disabling either type of connector immediately prevents new connections to the associated third-party data sources. Previous tool calls are hidden from chat history, but any data already used in a Make file remains. For example, a dashboard created using a Notion or Asana connector will continue to display existing data even after the connector is disabled.
- Only admins can publish custom connectors to make them available organization-wide.
Enable or disable partner connectors
Partner connectors are vetted integrations maintained by Figma and its partners. To enable or disable partner connectors:
- From the file browser, click Admin, then select Settings.
- Go to the AI section and click Connectors in Figma Make.
- Toggle Allow partner connectors on or off.
Caution: Changes to this setting take effect immediately for all Figma Make files in your organization. The setting can’t be applied at the workspace or team level.
Enable or disable custom connectors
Custom connectors let users connect to any MCP server beyond Figma’s partner integrations, including public servers or private internal tools.
For example, if a product manager wants to reference content from a tool that isn’t supported by partner connectors, they can connect to that tool using its MCP server.
More details:
- When Allow custom connectors is enabled, you can control who can create them—whether that's admins-only or everyone in the organization
- Custom connectors are visible only to their creator unless published organization-wide.
- Only organization admins can publish custom connectors
To enable or disable custom connectors:
- From the file browser, click Admin, then select Settings.
- Go to the AI section and click Connectors in Figma Make.
- Toggle Allow custom connectors on or off.
- If needed, update Who can create connectors to Anyone in the organization, or Admins only.
Caution: Changes to this setting take effect immediately for all Figma Make files in your organization.
Publish a custom connector to your organization
As an organization admin, once you have created and connected a custom connector, you can publish it to everyone in the organization.
Once published, a connector appears in the connector modal under the tab with your organization name. If authentication is required, users can do so with their own API keys or OAuth tokens.
More details:
- Users can access the full set of read and write tools exposed by the MCP server and can enable or disable individual tools as needed.
- Only the organization admin who publishes a connector can unpublish it.
- When you publish a custom connector that uses custom request headers, the headers are published with it. Individual users won’t need to provide their own credentials.
Publish a connector
- Open a Make file and click Add context. Hover over Connectors, then click Manage.
- Go to the Personal tab. If it’s empty, you’ll need to create a custom connector first.
- If needed, click Connect to ensure the connecter shows a Connected status.
- Click More, then select Publish.
- Review the connector details, check the confirmation box, then click Publish.
The connector will immediately appear for all users in your organization.
Note: After publishing, you can edit the connector’s name, icon, tagline, and description—all without needing to republish. Learn more about editing a connector.
Unpublish a connector
Unpublishing a connector removes it for all users except the organization admin who published it. Users’ Make files using the connector will lose access to its tools. Deleting a custom connector will also unpublish it.
- Open a Make file and click Add context. Hover over Connectors, then click Manage.
- Go to the tab with your organization’s name.
- Click More on the custom connector you want to unpublish.
- Select Unpublish.
