Implementation Reference

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:905-939 (registration)

  Registers the set_text_content MCP tool with name, description, Zod input schema (nodeId, text), and handler function that forwards to Figma plugin.
  server.tool( "set_text_content", "Set the text content of an existing text node in Figma", { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the text node to modify"), text: z.string().describe("New text content"), }, async ({ nodeId, text }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_text_content", { nodeId, text, }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Updated text content of node "${typedResult.name}" to "${text}"`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error setting text content: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } );
• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:912-938 (handler)

  Handler function sends 'set_text_content' command with nodeId and text to Figma plugin via sendCommandToFigma, processes response or error, returns MCP-formatted content.
  async ({ nodeId, text }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_text_content", { nodeId, text, }); const typedResult = result as { name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Updated text content of node "${typedResult.name}" to "${text}"`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error setting text content: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } }
• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:908-911 (schema)

  Input schema using Zod: nodeId (string, ID of text node), text (string, new content).
  { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the text node to modify"), text: z.string().describe("New text content"), },
• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:2572-2572 (helper)
