Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:155-182 (registration)This server.tool() call registers the MCP tool 'read_my_design'. It defines an empty input schema ({}), a description, and an inline async handler function that forwards the 'read_my_design' command to the connected Figma plugin server via sendCommandToFigma(), then returns the result as JSON-formatted text content or an error message.server.tool( "read_my_design", "Get detailed information about the current selection in Figma, including all node details", {}, async () => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("read_my_design", {}); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result) } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error getting node info: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } );
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:159-181 (handler)The handler function for the 'read_my_design' tool. It sends the 'read_my_design' command with empty parameters to the Figma plugin using sendCommandToFigma(), stringifies the result as text content for the MCP response, and handles errors by returning an error message.async () => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("read_my_design", {}); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result) } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error getting node info: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } }
- The input schema for the 'read_my_design' tool, defined as an empty object ({}), indicating the tool takes no parameters.{},
