Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:155-182 (handler)The handler function for the MCP 'read_my_design' tool. It sends a 'read_my_design' command to the connected Figma plugin via WebSocket using sendCommandToFigma and returns the result as JSON-formatted text content. This is the core execution logic for the tool.
server.tool( "read_my_design", "Get detailed information about the current selection in Figma, including all node details", {}, async () => { try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("read_my_design", {}); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result) } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error getting node info: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } } ); - src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:155-182 (registration)The server.tool call registers the 'read_my_design' tool with the MCP server, including its name, description, empty input schema, and handler function.
