Better code, fewer tokens: The benefits of Code Connect in MCP

What this post added

This post details the evaluation of Code Connect's impact on coding agents' performance when using Figma's MCP server. It quantifies the benefits of Code Connect in terms of reduced median task duration (-19.6%), increased code quality (+1 on a 1-4 Likert scale), and reduced median token usage (-29.5%). It explains how Code Connect provides context by substituting generated React with production-accurate code snippets, enabling agents to use existing codebase components instead of reinventing them. The post also outlines the methodology used for measuring these impacts, including the eval harness, scoring rubric, and the design systems tested.
