Kiyas tools (3)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
compareCompare a design against a rendered implementation and return discrepancies (measured on kiyas's golden eval set: 90% mutation recall, zero false positives on identical pairs). Provide `figma` (frame URL) or `designImage` (local path or URL of a design screenshot), plus either `target` (a URL) or `component` (natural-language description; kiyas finds it in the codebase). No Figma token needed for
get_diff_reportFetch a stored kiyas report by reportId. Defaults to JSON; pass format=html to fetch the rendered report. Returns the artifact path and (by default for JSON) inline content.
list_issuesList discrepancies from a stored kiyas report by reportId, optionally filtered by severity (all | high | medium | low).

Install Kiyas in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y kiyas-cli on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Kiyas repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
AI-Powered Design Fidelity — MCP Server & CLI "comparison" — pronounced "key-AHS"
A developer-first MCP server (also runnable as a CLI) that compares Figma designs against rendered UI components and surfaces an AI-powered semantic diff. Plugs into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and any other MCP-compatible client.
Unlike pixel-diff tools, kiyas uses vision AI to understand what is different and why it matters — outputting actionable, human-readable feedback like:
- "border-radius is 8px in implementation but 12px in design"
- "spacing between title and subtitle is 16px tighter than the design"
Just describe the component by name. kiyas finds it in your codebase, screenshots it, and compares it against the Figma design.
Prefer an app over a terminal? There's also a desktop app.
Desktop App
A native macOS app for running the same comparisons point-and-click — built for designers and anyone who'd rather not touch a terminal. Pick a project, paste a Figma link (or drop in a screenshot), describe the component, and get the full report in-app. It uses the same engine and the same subscription-based auth: AI calls go through the Claude Code or Codex CLI on your machine, never an API key.
⬇ Download the latest release (Apple Silicon)
- Download the .dmg, drag Kiyas to Applications.
- Preview builds aren't notarized yet — on first launch, right-click → Open (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Kiyas.app).
- Sign in to Claude Code or Codex in any terminal once; the app picks it up from there.
Highlights: project sidebar with dev-server detection, capture preview + crop before comparing, built-in terminal, full dark mode, and a Liquid Glass icon on macOS 26.
To build from source instead:
git clone https://github.com/saiffmirza/kiyas && cd kiyas
npm install
npm run desktop # dev mode
# or package a .app/.dmg:
cd apps/desktop && npx electron-builder --macHow It Works

Kiyas: common questions
- Is Kiyas MCP server safe?
- With care: it is graded C, so read the findings first (63/100). Read the Kiyas safety report
- How do I install Kiyas?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Kiyas need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN. - Is Kiyas maintained?
- The last commit was 102 days ago (2026-07-25). The latest release is v1.4.0.
- What can I use instead of Kiyas?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Dembrandt MCP server, Figma MCP Server and Figma UI MCP server.
- How does Kiyas compare with other Media MCP servers?
- safety score 63/100 (higher than 18% of 1,337 Media servers); tools 3 (the typical Media server has 7); tools that change things 0% (typical: 4%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
