Implementation Reference

  • The complete handler implementation for the 'move_node' MCP tool, registered via server.tool(). It defines the input schema, description, and the async execution function that sends the move command to the Figma plugin.
    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)}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Zod input schema for the move_node tool parameters.
    {
      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"),
    },
  • Top-level registration call that includes the move_node tool via registerModificationTools.
    registerModificationTools(server);
  • Type definition for FigmaCommand enum including 'move_node'.
