Figma to Code in WebStorm: A Better Design-to-Code Workflow
Blog post from JetBrains
Figma Connect for WebStorm, available in WebStorm 2026.2.1, integrates Figma design files directly into the IDE to reduce context switching and improve design-to-code accuracy. Through an automatically configured Figma MCP connection, developers can browse layers, synchronize selections between WebStorm and Figma, and attach selected design nodes to AI chats without adding screenshots or full design files to the context. AI agents such as Junie, Claude, Copilot, and Cursor can then use the actual design specifications, component variants, primitives, and internal design tokens to generate code better aligned with an existing codebase. JetBrains describes the feature as the first stage of a broader effort to keep designs, code, and running applications visually aligned throughout development.
