Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:352-396 (handler)MCP tool registration, schema, and handler implementation for the 'create_rectangle' tool. The handler forwards parameters to the Figma plugin's create_rectangle command via sendCommandToFigma and handles the response, returning a formatted message with the created rectangle details or an error.
