Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'get_image' tool. It constructs query parameters from args and makes a request to Figma's /images/{fileKey} endpoint.
    async getImage(args: GetImageArgs) {
      const { fileKey, ids, scale, format, svg_include_id, svg_simplify_stroke, use_absolute_bounds } = args;
      
      const params: Record<string, string | number | boolean | undefined> = {
        ids: ids.join(','),
        scale,
        format,
        svg_include_id,
        svg_simplify_stroke,
        use_absolute_bounds
      };
    
      return this.api.makeRequest(`/images/${fileKey}${this.api.buildQueryString(params)}`);
  • src/index.ts:167-205 (registration)
    Registration of the 'get_image' tool in the MCP server, including name, description, and detailed input schema.
    {
      name: 'get_image',
      description: 'Get images for nodes in a Figma file',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          fileKey: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'The key of the file to get images from'
          },
          ids: {
            type: 'array',
            items: { type: 'string' },
            description: 'Array of node IDs to render'
          },
          scale: {
            type: 'number',
            description: 'Optional. Scale factor to render at (0.01-4)'
          },
          format: {
            type: 'string',
            enum: ['jpg', 'png', 'svg', 'pdf'],
            description: 'Optional. Image format'
          },
          svg_include_id: {
            type: 'boolean',
            description: 'Optional. Include IDs in SVG output'
          },
          svg_simplify_stroke: {
            type: 'boolean',
            description: 'Optional. Simplify strokes in SVG output'
          },
          use_absolute_bounds: {
            type: 'boolean',
            description: 'Optional. Use absolute bounds'
          }
        },
        required: ['fileKey', 'ids']
      },
  • TypeScript interface defining the input arguments for the getImage handler, used for validation.
    export interface GetImageArgs {
      fileKey: string;
      ids: string[];
      scale?: number;
      format?: 'jpg' | 'png' | 'svg' | 'pdf';
      svg_include_id?: boolean;
      svg_simplify_stroke?: boolean;
      use_absolute_bounds?: boolean;
  • src/index.ts:506-511 (registration)
    Dispatch handler for 'get_image' tool calls, validates args and invokes filesHandler.getImage.
    case 'get_image': {
      const args = this.validateArgs<GetImageArgs>(request.params.arguments, ['fileKey', 'ids']);
      const result = await this.filesHandler.getImage(args);
      return {
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }],
      };
