    cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp stuck at "joining channel" in Cursor?

      Status: still open — no maintainer response in the thread, but two community workarounds were reported between Apr 25 and May 1, 2025.

      1. Enable the server in Cursor: open Cursor Settings > MCP and confirm the TalkToFigma MCP server is enabled. One commenter said this fixed the stuck-joining-channel state for them.
      2. Restart everything and use localhost: another commenter restarted the Figma plugin and the Cursor/Cline MCP plugin, and ran the MCP server in a terminal using a local host. They called this setup "much more stable" than the non-localhost option, but it requires keeping the MCP server process running in that terminal.
      3. A bare restart of the client was also suggested, but the thread doesn't confirm it resolved the stuck state.

      General advice: the report only contains a screenshot of the stuck join state, so there is no error text for anyone to diagnose. If you open a new issue, include the MCP log output from Cursor's MCP panel; without the underlying error, maintainers can't tell whether the channel is joined or stuck.

      What @oliolaina tried on GitHub (Worked)

      Enabled the TalkToFigma MCP server under Cursor Settings > MCP; the commenter reported it worked for them.

      Restarted the Figma plugin and the Cursor/Cline MCP plugin, then ran the MCP server in a terminal using a local host, describing the setup as much more stable than the non-localhost option.

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

      Followed all documented setup steps and the connection remained stuck at the channel-join step.
