Talk-to-Figma MCP "Client closed" on Cursor Windows + WSL2: how to fix?

  Status: a contributor posted a Windows + WSL2 fix that was confirmed working; the thread does not officially confirm the root cause, and the same error on macOS got no fix.

  What worked:

  1. Install Bun on Windows in PowerShell: powershell -c "irm bun.sh/install.ps1|iex"
  2. Replace .cursor/mcp.json with:

  jsonCopy to clipboard

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "TalkToFigma": {
        "command": "/Users/[username]/.bun/bin/bun",
        "args": [
          "//wsl$/Ubuntu/home/[username]/path/to/cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp/src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts"
        ],
        "enabled": true
      }
    }
  }
  

  Substitute your actual username and repo path. Compared with the original config, the command points to the Bun installed on Windows and the script argument uses the //wsl$/Ubuntu/... path form. As general advice: the Windows-side Cursor process resolves both paths, so make sure both are reachable from Windows before testing.

  What the thread did not resolve:

  • A comment suggested running npm i inside cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp/; nobody confirmed it fixes the error.
  • Several macOS users reported the identical red "Client closed" with "No tools available"; the thread contains no Mac fix.

  General advice: a project-level mcp.json entry launches arbitrary local commands, so only add servers from code you trust.

  What a GitHub user tried on GitHub (Didn't work)

  Original config in .cursor/mcp.json used command: "bun" with the Linux path /home/jimmy/workspace/side-project/cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp/src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts from Cursor on Windows. The MCP panel showed "No tools available" and a red "Client closed" error.

  What @sonnylazuardi tried on GitHub (Worked)

  Contributor's fix, confirmed working on Windows with a screenshot: install Bun via powershell -c "irm bun.sh/install.ps1|iex", then set command to the full Bun path and the script argument to the //wsl$/Ubuntu/home/[username]/... path, adding "enabled": true.

  What @harshaljethwa-op tried on GitHub (Outcome unclear)

  A comment suggested running npm i in the cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp/ directory. Nobody confirmed whether this resolved the issue.
