set_fill_color
Change the fill color of a Figma design element by specifying RGB values and optional transparency. Use this tool to modify visual appearance in real-time through the CC Fig MCP server.
Instructions
Set the fill color of a node in Figma. Alpha component defaults to 1 (fully opaque) if not specified. Use alpha 0 for fully transparent.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| nodeId | Yes | The ID of the node to modify | |
| r | Yes | Red component (0-1) | |
| g | Yes | Green component (0-1) | |
| b | Yes | Blue component (0-1) | |
| a | No | Alpha component (0-1, defaults to 1 if not specified) |
Implementation Reference
- Executes the set_fill_color tool: validates inputs, applies color defaults, sends command to Figma WebSocket, returns success/error text response.async ({ nodeId, r, g, b, a }) => { try { // Additional validation: Ensure RGB values are provided (they should not be undefined) if (r === undefined || g === undefined || b === undefined) { throw new Error("RGB components (r, g, b) are required and cannot be undefined"); } // Apply default values safely - preserves opacity 0 for transparency const colorInput: Color = { r, g, b, a }; const colorWithDefaults = applyColorDefaults(colorInput); const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_fill_color", { nodeId, color: colorWithDefaults, }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Set fill color of node "${typedResult.name}" to RGBA(${r}, ${g}, ${b}, ${colorWithDefaults.a})`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error setting fill color: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } }
- Input schema using Zod for tool parameters: nodeId (string), r,g,b (0-1 numbers), optional a (0-1).{ nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to modify"), r: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Red component (0-1)"), g: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Green component (0-1)"), b: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Blue component (0-1)"), a: z.number().min(0).max(1).optional().describe("Alpha component (0-1, defaults to 1 if not specified)"), },
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:15-59 (registration)Registers the set_fill_color tool on the MCP server with name, description, input schema, and handler function."set_fill_color", "Set the fill color of a node in Figma. Alpha component defaults to 1 (fully opaque) if not specified. Use alpha 0 for fully transparent.", { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to modify"), r: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Red component (0-1)"), g: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Green component (0-1)"), b: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Blue component (0-1)"), a: z.number().min(0).max(1).optional().describe("Alpha component (0-1, defaults to 1 if not specified)"), }, async ({ nodeId, r, g, b, a }) => { try { // Additional validation: Ensure RGB values are provided (they should not be undefined) if (r === undefined || g === undefined || b === undefined) { throw new Error("RGB components (r, g, b) are required and cannot be undefined"); } // Apply default values safely - preserves opacity 0 for transparency const colorInput: Color = { r, g, b, a }; const colorWithDefaults = applyColorDefaults(colorInput); const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_fill_color", { nodeId, color: colorWithDefaults, }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Set fill color of node "${typedResult.name}" to RGBA(${r}, ${g}, ${b}, ${colorWithDefaults.a})`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error setting fill color: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } );
- Utility function called by the handler to apply default alpha=1 to the color object if a is undefined.export function applyColorDefaults(color: Color): ColorWithDefaults { return { r: color.r, g: color.g, b: color.b, a: applyDefault(color.a, FIGMA_DEFAULTS.color.opacity) }; }
- TypeScript interface for Color used in the handler for colorInput.export interface Color { r: number; g: number; b: number; a?: number; }
