Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:767-796 (handler)The full implementation of the 'delete_node' MCP tool. This includes the registration via server.tool(), the input schema requiring a nodeId string, and the handler function that sends a 'delete_node' command to the underlying Figma plugin via WebSocket (sendCommandToFigma), handles success/error responses, and returns markdown content to the user.
server.tool( "delete_node", "Delete a node from Figma", { nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to delete"), }, async ({ nodeId }) => { 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 schema for the delete_node tool input parameters.
