Implementation Reference

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:121-143 (handler)

  The async handler function that implements the core logic of the move_node tool by forwarding the move command to Figma via websocket and returning a success or error message.

  async ({ nodeId, x, y }) => {
    try {
      const result = await sendCommandToFigma("move_node", { nodeId, x, y });
      const typedResult = result as { name: string };
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Moved node "${typedResult.name}" to position (${x}, ${y})`,
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Error moving node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  }

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:116-120 (schema)

  Zod input schema validating the parameters for the move_node tool: nodeId, x, and y.

  {
    nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to move"),
    x: z.number().describe("New X position"),
    y: z.number().describe("New Y position"),
  },

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:114-144 (registration)

  Registration of the move_node MCP tool on the server, including name, description, input schema, and handler function.

    "move_node",
    "Move a node to a new position in Figma",
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to move"),
      x: z.number().describe("New X position"),
      y: z.number().describe("New Y position"),
    },
    async ({ nodeId, x, y }) => {
      try {
        const result = await sendCommandToFigma("move_node", { nodeId, x, y });
        const typedResult = result as { name: string };
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Moved node "${typedResult.name}" to position (${x}, ${y})`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error moving node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  );

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/index.ts:16-16 (registration)

  Higher-level registration call that invokes registerModificationTools, which includes the move_node tool.

  registerModificationTools(server);
