Implementation Reference

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/creation-tools.ts:505-536 (registration)

  The registration of the 'clone_node' MCP tool, including input schema using Zod and the handler function that forwards the clone_node command to the Figma plugin via sendCommandToFigma websocket utility.
  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/creation-tools.ts:514-535 (handler)

  The handler function for the clone_node tool that executes the logic by calling sendCommandToFigma and formatting the response.
  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/creation-tools.ts:508-512 (schema)

  Zod schema defining the input parameters for the clone_node tool.
  { 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") },
• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/types/index.ts:66-66 (helper)

  The 'clone_node' command is listed in the FigmaCommand type union, used for type safety in sendCommandToFigma calls.
