Figma Create New File

Create a new file in Figma

Steps to create a new Figma Design, FigJam, or Slides file using the create_new_file MCP tool.

Step 1: Resolve the planKey and editorType

Use the planKey the user provided or selected for this task. Otherwise, call whoami and inspect the returned plans.

• No plans: inform the user that file creation cannot proceed.
• One plan: use its key as planKey.
• Multiple plans: show the available plans, ask the user to select one and then use that plan's key as planKey.

Infer editorType from the requested file type by choosing from the tool's advertised input enum. If unclear, ask the user to specify the file type.

Step 2: Call create_new_file

Call the create_new_file tool with all three required arguments:

• fileName: Required. Choose a concise name if the user does not provide one.
• planKey: Required. Use the planKey resolved in Step 1.
• editorType: Required. Use the editorType selected in Step 1.
• projectId: Optional. Set it to create the file in a specific project.
