Implementation Reference
- src/cursor_mcp_plugin/code.js:149-205 (handler)Core implementation of get_node_info: Retrieves a Figma node by ID using figma.getNodeByIdAsync and constructs a detailed info object with properties like position, size, fills, strokes, children, and type-specific details.
async function getNodeInfo(nodeId) { const node = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(nodeId); if (!node) { throw new Error(`Node not found with ID: ${nodeId}`); } // Base node information const nodeInfo = { id: node.id, name: node.name, type: node.type, visible: node.visible, }; // Add position and size for SceneNode if ("x" in node && "y" in node) { nodeInfo.x = node.x; nodeInfo.y = node.y; } if ("width" in node && "height" in node) { nodeInfo.width = node.width; nodeInfo.height = node.height; } // Add fills for nodes with fills if ("fills" in node) { nodeInfo.fills = node.fills; } // Add strokes for nodes with strokes if ("strokes" in node) { nodeInfo.strokes = node.strokes; if ("strokeWeight" in node) { nodeInfo.strokeWeight = node.strokeWeight; } } // Add children for parent nodes if ("children" in node) { nodeInfo.children = node.children.map((child) => ({ id: child.id, name: child.name, type: child.type, })); } // Add text-specific properties if (node.type === "TEXT") { nodeInfo.characters = node.characters; nodeInfo.fontSize = node.fontSize; nodeInfo.fontName = node.fontName; } return nodeInfo; } - src/cursor_mcp_plugin/code.js:68-72 (handler)Dispatch handler in handleCommand function that validates nodeId parameter and calls the getNodeInfo implementation for the "get_node_info" command.
case "get_node_info": if (!params || !params.nodeId) { throw new Error("Missing nodeId parameter"); } return await getNodeInfo(params.nodeId); - src/talk_to_figma_mcp/server.ts:90-118 (registration)MCP tool registration for 'get_node_info' including description, input schema (nodeId: z.string()), and handler that proxies the command to the Figma plugin via sendCommandToFigma.
