Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'delete_node' MCP tool. It sends a 'delete_node' command to the Figma plugin via websocket with the provided nodeId and returns a success or error text response.
    async ({ nodeId }) => {
      try {
        await sendCommandToFigma("delete_node", { nodeId });
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Deleted node with ID: ${nodeId}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error deleting node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  • Registers the 'delete_node' tool on the MCP server using server.tool(). Includes tool name, description, input schema (nodeId), and references the handler function. This function is called from tools/index.ts.
    server.tool(
      "delete_node",
      "Delete a node from Figma",
      {
        nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to delete"),
      },
      async ({ nodeId }) => {
        try {
          await sendCommandToFigma("delete_node", { nodeId });
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Deleted node with ID: ${nodeId}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error deleting node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Zod schema for 'delete_node' tool input validation: requires a single 'nodeId' string parameter.
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to delete"),
    },
