Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:372-407 (handler)

  MCP tool handler registration for set_effect_style_id, including input schema (nodeId, effectStyleId) and execution logic that delegates to Figma's set_effect_style_id command via sendCommandToFigma.

  server.tool(
    "set_effect_style_id",
    "Apply an effect style to a node in Figma",
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to modify"),
      effectStyleId: z.string().describe("The ID of the effect style to apply")
    },
    async ({ nodeId, effectStyleId }) => {
      try {
        const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_effect_style_id", {
          nodeId,
          effectStyleId
        });
  
        const typedResult = result as { name: string, effectStyleId: string };
  
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Successfully applied effect style to node "${typedResult.name}"`
            }
          ]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error setting effect style: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`
            }
          ]
        };
      }
    }
  );

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:375-378 (schema)

  Zod input schema for the set_effect_style_id tool.

  {
    nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to modify"),
    effectStyleId: z.string().describe("The ID of the effect style to apply")
  },

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:372-407 (registration)

  Registration of the set_effect_style_id tool on the MCP server using server.tool.

  server.tool(
    "set_effect_style_id",
    "Apply an effect style to a node in Figma",
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to modify"),
      effectStyleId: z.string().describe("The ID of the effect style to apply")
    },
    async ({ nodeId, effectStyleId }) => {
      try {
        const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_effect_style_id", {
          nodeId,
          effectStyleId
        });
  
        const typedResult = result as { name: string, effectStyleId: string };
  
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Successfully applied effect style to node "${typedResult.name}"`
            }
          ]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error setting effect style: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`
            }
          ]
        };
      }
    }
