Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:342-371 (handler)The handler function for the 'create_rectangle' tool. It takes parameters x, y, width, height, optional name and parentId, sends a 'create_rectangle' command to the Figma plugin via sendCommandToFigma, and returns success/error messages.
async ({ x, y, width, height, name, parentId }) => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("create_rectangle", { x, y, width, height, name: name || "Rectangle", parentId, }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Created rectangle "${JSON.stringify(result)}"`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error creating rectangle: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } - Zod schema defining input parameters for the create_rectangle tool: x, y (positions), width, height (dimensions), optional name and parentId.
