Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:2140-2191 (registration)MCP tool registration for 'set_padding', including schema definition and handler function that proxies the command to the Figma plugin via sendCommandToFigma and formats the response.server.tool( "set_padding", "Set padding values for an auto-layout frame in Figma", { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the frame to modify"), paddingTop: z.number().optional().describe("Top padding value"), paddingRight: z.number().optional().describe("Right padding value"), paddingBottom: z.number().optional().describe("Bottom padding value"), paddingLeft: z.number().optional().describe("Left padding value"), }, async ({ nodeId, paddingTop, paddingRight, paddingBottom, paddingLeft }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_padding", { nodeId, paddingTop, paddingRight, paddingBottom, paddingLeft, }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; // Create a message about which padding values were set const paddingMessages = []; if (paddingTop !== undefined) paddingMessages.push(`top: ${paddingTop}`); if (paddingRight !== undefined) paddingMessages.push(`right: ${paddingRight}`); if (paddingBottom !== undefined) paddingMessages.push(`bottom: ${paddingBottom}`); if (paddingLeft !== undefined) paddingMessages.push(`left: ${paddingLeft}`); const paddingText = paddingMessages.length > 0 ? `padding (${paddingMessages.join(', ')})` : "padding"; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Set ${paddingText} for frame "${typedResult.name}"`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error setting padding: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } );
