Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:2102-2137 (registration)Registration of the 'set_layout_mode' MCP tool, including schema validation with Zod and the handler function that sends the command to the Figma plugin via WebSocket.server.tool( "set_layout_mode", "Set the layout mode and wrap behavior of a frame in Figma", { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the frame to modify"), layoutMode: z.enum(["NONE", "HORIZONTAL", "VERTICAL"]).describe("Layout mode for the frame"), layoutWrap: z.enum(["NO_WRAP", "WRAP"]).optional().describe("Whether the auto-layout frame wraps its children") }, async ({ nodeId, layoutMode, layoutWrap }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_layout_mode", { nodeId, layoutMode, layoutWrap: layoutWrap || "NO_WRAP" }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Set layout mode of frame "${typedResult.name}" to ${layoutMode}${layoutWrap ? ` with ${layoutWrap}` : ''}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error setting layout mode: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } );
- Handler function for the 'set_layout_mode' tool that proxies the layout mode setting to the underlying Figma plugin.async ({ nodeId, layoutMode, layoutWrap }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_layout_mode", { nodeId, layoutMode, layoutWrap: layoutWrap || "NO_WRAP" }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Set layout mode of frame "${typedResult.name}" to ${layoutMode}${layoutWrap ? ` with ${layoutWrap}` : ''}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error setting layout mode: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } );
- Input schema for the 'set_layout_mode' tool using Zod for validation of nodeId, layoutMode, and optional layoutWrap.{ nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the frame to modify"), layoutMode: z.enum(["NONE", "HORIZONTAL", "VERTICAL"]).describe("Layout mode for the frame"), layoutWrap: z.enum(["NO_WRAP", "WRAP"]).optional().describe("Whether the auto-layout frame wraps its children") },
