Quick answer: A GitHub Sync plugin on the Framer Marketplace syncs Framer CMS content with a GitHub repository. Separately, Framer connects AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor through Framer MCP, its recommended setup, or a local CLI.
How to connect GitHub to Framer
- For content: open Plugins, find GitHub Sync and connect a repository
- Map the files to a CMS collection and sync
- For AI tools: follow Framer's guide to connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor through Framer MCP
Good to know
- Marketplace plugins are built by third parties
- Framer recommends MCP over the local CLI for most workflows
About Framer Marketplace plugins
Framer's help describes plugins as third-party tools built by developers and creators, which run inside your Framer project to connect external services, sync content or add features. Before relying on one, check its marketplace listing for what it syncs, how often, and who maintains it, and keep a note of how to rebuild without it.
Framer's CMS or an outside one?
| Where content lives | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Framer's built-in CMS | Marketing sites a team edits visually | Plan limits: Pro held 10 collections and 2,500 items on 29 October 2026, with add-ons for more |
| Synced into Framer by a plugin | Content already managed in another tool | Two places to keep in step, and a third-party plugin to rely on |
| A headless CMS with a coded front end | Content feeding several sites or apps | A developer builds and maintains the front end |
