MCP Servers | Airgap Studio

What Is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol for extending AI model capabilities. Through MCP servers, you can connect external tools, data sources, and services to the AI assistant.

How It Works

When the active AI assistant (AIRGAP Assistant or AIRGAP Lite Assistant) processes a user request, it automatically invokes tools connected via MCP servers as needed. Users simply make requests in natural language — no special commands required.

MCP in Air-Gapped Environments

In air-gapped environments where network access is restricted, MCP servers run as local processes only.

Available MCP Server Types

Type	Description	Air-Gap Compatible
Local Tool Server	File system, database access	Yes
Local API Server	Internal network API calls	Yes (intranet)
External Service Server	Cloud API integration	No

Figma MCP (AIRGAP Bridge)

The Prototype tab in AIRGAP Bridge integrates with Figma Desktop's MCP plugin.

Run the MCP plugin in the Figma Desktop app.
Communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol on localhost:3845.
If Figma MCP is not running, Bridge falls back to .fig file drop mode.

Basic Configuration

MCP server settings are managed via JSON files.
