Connect Figma to ChatGPT
Give ChatGPT governed access to Figma’s 47 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Figma to ChatGPT in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ChatGPT then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Figma in Runlayer
Add Figma from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect ChatGPT to Runlayer
Admins publish the Runlayer Plugin and its skill to the whole ChatGPT organization. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, Figma’s 47 tools show up in ChatGPT’s own tool list.

Sign in to Figma
Each user signs in to Figma with OAuth. Runlayer keeps the tokens out of the client’s configuration.
- 4
Use Figma from ChatGPT
Figma’s approved tools appear in ChatGPT. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
47 Figma tools in ChatGPT
Runlayer policy decides which of these ChatGPT users can call. 23 read data only and 5 can change or delete data.
Add code connect mapping
Map a Figma node to a code component in your codebase using Code Connect.
Create generative plugin
Creates a new generative plugin in the authenticated user's account library and returns its id.
Create new file
Create a new blank Figma file.
Create shader
Set kind to effect for a shader that transforms the layer beneath it, or fill for a shader that generates its own pixels.
Download assets
Download assets from a Figma file for a single node: an exported render, the original source images, and SVGs of the vector layers.
Export video
Export a Figma timeline node as an MP4 video.
Generate diagram
Create a flowchart, decision tree, gantt chart, sequence diagram, state diagram, or entity relationship diagram in FigJam, using Mermaid.js.
Generate Figma design
Capture a live web page by URL into an existing Figma design file.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in ChatGPT
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ChatGPT exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Figma call from ChatGPT passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, ChatGPT as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Compliance API import (available)
OpenAI Compliance Logs Platform imports ChatGPT web chats for review.
Managed browser extension (available)
Managed Chrome, Edge, and Firefox deployments can monitor supported web-chat activity and apply prompt-time controls where the surface permits it.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ChatGPT yet, so control happens at the gateway.
