429 rate limit errors from Figma API

Author: jason-ezenwaCreated Nov 23, 2025Updated Jul 15, 2026

I have been getting this response all day, while trying to use the mcp with cursor: Error fetching file: Failed to make request to Figma API endpoint '/files/CSKFNNR9R6BynWVO2CvvpX/nodes?ids=8425:9830': Fetch failed with status 429: Too Many Requests

At first I thought the rate limit was on my API key by figma, but i'm able to do curls directly to figma's api using my api key. Does the framelink mcp specifically have rate limiting or is there rate limiting on mcp connections to figma?
