Join us for another instalment of our deep dive webinar series, where we explore the tools and practices shaping the future of design systems.

This month, we’re revisiting MCP (Model Context Protocol). A lot has changed since our last session on MCP — including our newest MCP-powered integrations like the zeroheight connector for Figma Make — and we’re taking a practical look at how to connect your design system to the AI tools your teams are already using.

We’ll explore how MCP enables designers, developers, and product teams to move from static documentation to live, contextual guidance inside tools like VS Code, Claude, Cursor, and Figma Make — keeping components, tokens, patterns, and usage guidance in the loop from the start.

You’ll see demos across three evolving areas:

  • Traditional workflows — with AI assistance
  • Ask your design system questions in natural language instead of browsing static docs — and apply the guidance with confidence, right where you’re working.
  • Auditing and strengthening your design system
  • Use MCP to audit and test your design system holistically. Pressure-testing across the system, documentation, and code to ensure it's up to scratch alongside product implementation.
  • From AI-accelerated prototyping to AI-driven development
  • See how tools like Figma Make — and AI in the IDE — can move teams from idea to prototype to production faster, while staying grounded in your components, tokens, and guardrails. Faster builds, without drifting from your design system standards.

We’ll also go behind the scenes on how MCP works, what challenges we’ve solved to make design system content usable by AI, and what’s coming next — including opportunities to get involved in our MCP early-adopter programme.

If you’re thinking about how to keep your design system relevant — and reliable — in an AI-powered workflow, this deep dive is for you.
