Please share an example of what would have taken you 3 weeks and with Figma's MCP in an afternoon.

Do you mean three weeks of manual work (no LLM) vs MCP? Or MCP vs LLM tool use? Because that's a huge difference.

sorry, I was talking about no LLM vs MCP, but in the scenario of LLM vs MCP I think at least 1 week with MCP vs LLM. It's a bit hard to estimae because every project is different, but when feeding our own instructions to the LLM it would still take a long time to UI to look exactly like figma. It could get close enough, but we still needed a lot of iterations.

I'd hazard a guess the former.

The former is a step function change. The latter is just a small improvement.
