Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:119-146 (handler)This is the registration and handler implementation for the MCP tool named 'get_selection'. It defines the tool with an empty input schema, and the handler sends a 'get_selection' command to the underlying Figma plugin via WebSocket (using sendCommandToFigma) and returns the result as a text content block containing the JSON-stringified response.
server.tool( "get_selection", "Get information about the current selection in Figma", {}, async () => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("get_selection"); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result) } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error getting selection: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } );
