Implementation Reference
- The MCP tool handler for 'clone_node'. Registers the tool, defines the input schema using Zod, and implements the execution logic by sending a 'clone_node' command to the Figma plugin via websocket. Returns success/error messages.// Clone Node Tool server.tool( "clone_node", "Clone an existing node in Figma", { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to clone"), x: z.number().optional().describe("New X position for the clone"), y: z.number().optional().describe("New Y position for the clone") }, async ({ nodeId, x, y }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma('clone_node', { nodeId, x, y }); const typedResult = result as { name: string, id: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Cloned node "${typedResult.name}" with new ID: ${typedResult.id}${x !== undefined && y !== undefined ? ` at position (${x}, ${y})` : ''}` } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error cloning node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` } ] }; } } );
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/index.ts:15-15 (registration)Registration call for creation tools, which includes the clone_node tool.registerCreationTools(server);
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:34-34 (registration)Top-level registration of all tools via registerTools(server), which calls registerCreationTools including clone_node.registerTools(server);
- Input schema (Zod) for the clone_node tool defining parameters nodeId, x (optional), y (optional).{ nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to clone"), x: z.number().optional().describe("New X position for the clone"), y: z.number().optional().describe("New Y position for the clone") },
- 'clone_node' included in FigmaCommand type union for TypeScript type safety.| "clone_node"
