Figma's hosted remote MCP server can be connected to Zoo Code on macOS and Windows using the Codex CLI, without needing a Claude subscription. The key is to use the correct configuration settings.
On macOS, the process involves verifying Node.js and npm, installing and verifying Codex CLI, signing in, starting Figma authorization via a helper, verifying the Figma MCP server, diagnosing potential Keychain issues, checking URL constants, saving the credential to the helper's local store, updating Zoo Code's global MCP settings, and correcting the transport type.
The critical configuration detail is that the type must be set to "streamable-http" instead of the default "http", as this resolved the "Invalid MCP settings format" error.
