Implementation Reference

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:683-715 (registration)

  Registration of the 'move_node' MCP tool including description, Zod input schema (nodeId, x, y), and inline handler function that delegates to Figma plugin via sendCommandToFigma.

  server.tool(
    "move_node",
    "Move a node to a new position in Figma",
    {
      nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to move"),
      x: z.number().describe("New X position"),
      y: z.number().describe("New Y position"),
    },
    async ({ nodeId, x, y }: any) => {
      try {
        const result = await sendCommandToFigma("move_node", { nodeId, x, y });
        const typedResult = result as { name: string };
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Moved node "${typedResult.name}" to position (${x}, ${y})`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error moving node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  );

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:691-714 (handler)

  The handler function for the move_node tool. It calls sendCommandToFigma with the parameters and formats a success or error response message.

  async ({ nodeId, x, y }: any) => {
    try {
      const result = await sendCommandToFigma("move_node", { nodeId, x, y });
      const typedResult = result as { name: string };
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Moved node "${typedResult.name}" to position (${x}, ${y})`,
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Error moving node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
              }`,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  }

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:687-690 (schema)

  Zod schema for move_node tool input validation: nodeId (string), x (number), y (number).

    nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to move"),
    x: z.number().describe("New X position"),
    y: z.number().describe("New Y position"),
  },

• src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:2702-2706 (schema)

  TypeScript interface definition for move_node command parameters in CommandParams type, used for typing sendCommandToFigma calls.

  move_node: {
    nodeId: string;
    x: number;
    y: number;
  };
