Implementation Reference
- Handler function that sends the 'get_node_info' command to Figma via sendCommandToFigma, filters the result using filterFigmaNode, stringifies it, and returns as text content, or error message.async ({ nodeId }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("get_node_info", { nodeId }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(filterFigmaNode(result)) } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error getting node info: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } );
- Zod input schema defining the required 'nodeId' parameter as a string.{ nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to get information about"), },
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/document-tools.ts:49-77 (registration)MCP server.tool() registration for 'get_node_info', specifying name, description, input schema, and handler function.server.tool( "get_node_info", "Get detailed information about a specific node in Figma", { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to get information about"), }, async ({ nodeId }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("get_node_info", { nodeId }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(filterFigmaNode(result)) } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error getting node info: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } );
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/index.ts:13-13 (registration)Higher-level tool registration that calls registerDocumentTools(server), which registers get_node_info among document tools.registerDocumentTools(server);
- Recursive helper function to filter and simplify Figma node objects: converts colors to hex, removes unnecessary data like boundVariables and imageRef, skips VECTOR nodes, used in get_node_info handler.export function filterFigmaNode(node: any) { // Skip VECTOR type nodes if (node.type === "VECTOR") { return null; } const filtered: any = { id: node.id, name: node.name, type: node.type, }; if (node.fills && node.fills.length > 0) { filtered.fills = node.fills.map((fill: any) => { const processedFill = { ...fill }; // Remove boundVariables and imageRef delete processedFill.boundVariables; delete processedFill.imageRef; // Process gradientStops if present if (processedFill.gradientStops) { processedFill.gradientStops = processedFill.gradientStops.map((stop: any) => { const processedStop = { ...stop }; // Convert color to hex if present if (processedStop.color) { processedStop.color = rgbaToHex(processedStop.color); } // Remove boundVariables delete processedStop.boundVariables; return processedStop; }); } // Convert solid fill colors to hex if (processedFill.color) { processedFill.color = rgbaToHex(processedFill.color); } return processedFill; }); } if (node.strokes && node.strokes.length > 0) { filtered.strokes = node.strokes.map((stroke: any) => { const processedStroke = { ...stroke }; // Remove boundVariables delete processedStroke.boundVariables; // Convert color to hex if present if (processedStroke.color) { processedStroke.color = rgbaToHex(processedStroke.color); } return processedStroke; }); } if (node.cornerRadius !== undefined) { filtered.cornerRadius = node.cornerRadius; } if (node.absoluteBoundingBox) { filtered.absoluteBoundingBox = node.absoluteBoundingBox; } if (node.characters) { filtered.characters = node.characters; } if (node.style) { filtered.style = { fontFamily: node.style.fontFamily, fontStyle: node.style.fontStyle, fontWeight: node.style.fontWeight, fontSize: node.style.fontSize, textAlignHorizontal: node.style.textAlignHorizontal, letterSpacing: node.style.letterSpacing, lineHeightPx: node.style.lineHeightPx }; } if (node.children) { filtered.children = node.children .map((child: any) => filterFigmaNode(child)) .filter((child: any) => child !== null); // Remove null children (VECTOR nodes) } return filtered; }
