Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'move_node' MCP tool, including inline schema and handler function that proxies the move_node command to the Figma plugin via WebSocket.
    // Move Node Tool server.tool( "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: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } );
  • Handler function implementing the tool logic: sends 'move_node' command with parameters to Figma plugin and formats success/error response.
    async ({ nodeId, x, y }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("move_node", { nodeId, x, y }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Moved node "${typedResult.name}" to position (${x}, ${y})`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error moving node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } }
  • Zod schema defining input parameters: nodeId (string), x (number), y (number).
    { 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"), },
  • TypeScript type definition for FigmaCommand parameters of move_node.
    move_node: { nodeId: string; x: number; y: number; };
