Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

Its card, with similar plugins by marketplace

What each says it does

Figma

In its own words, on Community GitHub marketplaces:

Paste a Figma share URL and the agent can read the file. It pulls nodes, variables, and version history, renders frames as images, leaves comments, and turns a FigJam connector graph into Mermaid.

Desktop Commander

In its own words, on Official MCP Registry:

MCP server for terminal commands, file operations, and process management

How to run each

Figma

No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.

Desktop Commander As a local MCP server: npm package

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio desktop-commander -- npx -y @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Tools each declares

The marketplaces of Figma publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.

Settings each asks for

Neither one's marketplaces publish the settings it asks for.
