Implementation Reference

  • MCP tool registration for 'delete_node'. Includes input schema (nodeId: string), description, and handler function that proxies the delete_node command to the Figma plugin via WebSocket.
    // Delete Node Tool
    server.tool(
      "delete_node",
      "Delete a node from Figma",
      {
        nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to delete"),
      },
      async ({ nodeId }: any) => {
        try {
          await sendCommandToFigma("delete_node", { nodeId });
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Deleted node with ID: ${nodeId}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error deleting node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                  }`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Handler function for delete_node tool. Sends 'delete_node' command with nodeId to Figma plugin and returns success/error message.
    async ({ nodeId }: any) => {
      try {
        await sendCommandToFigma("delete_node", { nodeId });
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Deleted node with ID: ${nodeId}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error deleting node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  • Zod input schema for delete_node tool requiring nodeId as string.
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to delete"),
    },
  • TypeScript type definition for delete_node command parameters in CommandParams interface.
    delete_node: {
      nodeId: string;
    };
