Implementation Reference

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:718-749 (handler)

  MCP tool registration and handler for 'clone_node'. Registers the tool with Zod schema for inputs (nodeId required, x/y optional) and implements the handler that forwards the clone_node command to the Figma plugin via WebSocket, handles the response, and returns formatted content or error.

  server.tool(
    "clone_node",
    "Clone an existing node in Figma",
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to clone"),
      x: z.number().optional().describe("New X position for the clone"),
      y: z.number().optional().describe("New Y position for the clone")
    },
    async ({ nodeId, x, y }: any) => {
      try {
        const result = await sendCommandToFigma('clone_node', { nodeId, x, y });
        const typedResult = result as { name: string, id: string };
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Cloned node "${typedResult.name}" with new ID: ${typedResult.id}${x !== undefined && y !== undefined ? ` at position (${x}, ${y})` : ''}`
            }
          ]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error cloning node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`
            }
          ]
        };
      }
    }
  );
