Is this the API surface you're referring to?

Seems read-only, which means we're stuck with the MCP for updating Figma files... unless you've found a workaround there too?

You can use their plugin API.

This is what I use. Load a little shim plugin and control it with whatever you want. I made the plugin poll an http server that listens for commands.
