What you'll learn

Connecting Figma and Claude

How and why to connect your Figma files to Claude, and what actually happens when you do.

What is an MCP, in plain terms

What an MCP really is, which one to use, and how to install it as a designer without a developer.

What's worth your time, and what isn't

An honest look at where this genuinely helps your design work, and where it's still hype.

Why this topic matters

Figma, Claude, MCP. The terms fly around and most designers are left unsure what any of it means for their actual work. A calm, hands-on introduction to how these pieces fit together, with no hype and no vibe-coded screens that fall apart the moment you touch them. You'll leave understanding what MCP is, why you'd connect Figma and Claude, and what's worth trying first.

Founder moonlearning · 2× Figma Config Speaker · Awwwards Jury Member

I’m Christine Vallaure, founder of moonlearning.io, a learning platform for UI design, Figma, and hands-on product building.

I’m a 2× Figma Config speaker (speaking on using Figma like the pros and on building and shipping products solo), the author of The Solo, a book about independent product building and an Awwwards jury member.

Teaching is a core part of my work and passion, especially at the intersection of design and code. I focus on helping designers understand how their decisions translate into real, working products.

I still build hands-on. Most of my work lives between design, code, and the tools that shape how ideas get shipped, always with a no-hype, craft-first approach.
