Implementation Reference

  • Full server.tool registration including schema, description, and handler function for the 'set_letter_spacing' MCP tool. The handler sends a 'set_letter_spacing' command to the Figma plugin via websocket and formats the response.
    server.tool(
      "set_letter_spacing",
      "Set the letter spacing of a text node in Figma",
      {
        nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the text node to modify"),
        letterSpacing: z.number().describe("Letter spacing value"),
        unit: z.enum(["PIXELS", "PERCENT"]).optional().describe("Unit type (PIXELS or PERCENT)"),
      },
      async ({ nodeId, letterSpacing, unit }) => {
        try {
          const result = await sendCommandToFigma("set_letter_spacing", {
            nodeId,
            letterSpacing,
            unit: unit || "PIXELS"
          });
          const typedResult = result as { name: string, letterSpacing: { value: number, unit: string } };
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Updated letter spacing of node "${typedResult.name}" to ${typedResult.letterSpacing.value} ${typedResult.letterSpacing.unit}`
              }
            ]
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error setting letter spacing: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`
              }
            ]
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Zod input schema defining parameters for the set_letter_spacing tool: nodeId (string), letterSpacing (number), optional unit (PIXELS or PERCENT).
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the text node to modify"),
      letterSpacing: z.number().describe("Letter spacing value"),
      unit: z.enum(["PIXELS", "PERCENT"]).optional().describe("Unit type (PIXELS or PERCENT)"),
  • Part of FigmaCommand union type listing 'set_letter_spacing' as a valid command sent to Figma plugin.
