<p>How can we implement a system where Figma MCP (Model context protocol) + GitHub Copilot automatically maps Figma design components to our own custom React component library (OMNI UI), instead of generating raw code?<p>Our Setup:
Design Side: Uses a consistent design system in Figma (spacing, colors, typography, components like buttons, accordions, etc.)<p>Dev Side: We’ve built a component library called OMNI UI (React + TypeScript), which mirrors the design system.<p>OMNI UI is maintained in a separate GitLab repository.<p>We use GitHub Copilot to assist with code generation.<p>Goal: When a developer uses Figma MCP to generate code for a design, it should import and use OMNI UI components (e.g., <Button />, <Accordion />) instead of generating raw HTML/CSS.<p>Similar Example:
v0.dev uses shadcn/ui components automatically for common UI patterns.<p>What we want to know:<p>How can we configure Copilot or Figma MCP to recognize our custom component library?<p>Can we create a mapping layer or design-token-to-component bridge?<p>Does anyone have experience linking Figma components to external component libraries?<p>Is this possible across repositories?<p>Should we use design tokens, naming conventions, plugin configuration, or codegen tooling?</p>
