Implementation Reference
- The handler function for the 'create_ellipse' MCP tool. It sends a 'create_ellipse' command to Figma via websocket with provided parameters and returns a success message with the new ellipse ID or an error message.
async ({ x, y, width, height, name, parentId, fillColor, strokeColor, strokeWeight }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("create_ellipse", { x, y, width, height, name: name || "Ellipse", parentId, fillColor, strokeColor, strokeWeight, }); const typedResult = result as { id: string, name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Created ellipse with ID: ${typedResult.id}` } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error creating ellipse: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` } ] }; } } - Zod input schema defining parameters for the create_ellipse tool: position (x,y), dimensions (width,height), optional name, parentId, fillColor, strokeColor, strokeWeight.
