get_node_info

Auto-generate your docs

Overview

Retrieves comprehensive information about a specific node by its ID. Returns the same detailed data as read_my_design, but for any node in the document, not just the current selection.

Parameters

string

required

The ID of the node to get information about.

Return Value

Returns a detailed JSON object containing full node information:

{
  "id": "123:456",
  "name": "Card Component",
  "type": "FRAME",
  "absoluteBoundingBox": {
    "x": 0,
    "y": 0,
    "width": 320,
    "height": 480
  },
  "fills": [
    {
      "type": "SOLID",
      "color": "#FFFFFF"
    }
  ],
  "cornerRadius": 12,
  "children": [
    // ... child nodes
  ]
}

Colors are automatically converted to hex format. VECTOR nodes are filtered out to reduce verbosity.

Usage Example

const nodeInfo = await use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "TalkToFigma",
  tool_name: "get_node_info",
  arguments: {
    nodeId: "123:456"
  }
});

console.log(`Node: ${nodeInfo.name}`);
console.log(`Type: ${nodeInfo.type}`);
console.log(`Size: ${nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.width}x${nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.height}`);

Best Practices

Ensure the node ID is valid and exists in the current document. Invalid node IDs will result in an error.

Use get_selection first to obtain node IDs, or use scan_text_nodes or scan_nodes_by_types to discover node IDs.

Common Use Cases

Inspecting specific nodes after scanning operations
Getting details about parent or child nodes
Verifying node properties before modifications
Analyzing nodes referenced by ID from other operations
