Figma's Feb 2026 release: Canvas to Code ships

Figma's February 2026 release notes confirm Canvas to Code — the MCP-powered link between design files and code — is now a shipped feature, not just a demo. Figma Make also gained connectors to tools like Atlassian, GitHub and Amplitude, so agents can pull real product context instead of starting from a blank prompt. The demoed workflow: sketch in FigJam, prototype in Make, align with the team, then build with Figma MCP and a coding agent — all without leaving Figma's ecosystem. For juniors on Figma, this means dev handoff conversations are shifting from 'here's the spec' to 'here's the context the AI already has.' Worth understanding even if your team isn't using agents yet, because clients and senior devs increasingly will.

Watch the Figma release notes video and note one workflow (FigJam → Make → MCP) you could try on a small personal project this week.
