Implementation Reference
- Handler function that executes the create_connections tool by proxying the request to the Figma plugin via sendCommandToFigma.
async ({ connections }) => { try { if (!connections || connections.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "No connections provided" } ] }; } const result = await sendCommandToFigma("create_connections", { connections }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Created ${connections.length} connections: ${JSON.stringify(result)}` } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error creating connections: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` } ] }; } } - src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:2413-2459 (registration)Registration of the create_connections tool on the MCP server using server.tool().
server.tool( "create_connections", "Create connections between nodes using the default connector style", { connections: z.array(z.object({ startNodeId: z.string().describe("ID of the starting node"), endNodeId: z.string().describe("ID of the ending node"), text: z.string().optional().describe("Optional text to display on the connector") })).describe("Array of node connections to create") }, async ({ connections }) => { try { if (!connections || connections.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "No connections provided" } ] }; } const result = await sendCommandToFigma("create_connections", { connections }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Created ${connections.length} connections: ${JSON.stringify(result)}` } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error creating connections: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` } ] }; } } ); - Zod schema defining the input parameters for the create_connections tool.
