Figma Slots Write Support 🧩

Slots went GA at Config 2026 — and as of this release, Figma Console MCP can create, inspect, populate, and reset them programmatically. This closes #29 (the tracker's most-requested feature) and is based on community PR #77 by @simonesalvucci, updated and hardened against the GA Plugin API (live-validated 2026-07-09, including an end-to-end test slotting a real design-system Button instance into a slotted card component).

Added

• figma_create_slot — create a SlotNode inside a component via createSlot(); the linked SLOT component property is created automatically and renaming the slot renames the property. Works on standalone COMPONENTs and variant components inside a COMPONENT_SET (the beta-era restriction was lifted at GA).
• figma_get_slots — list slots on a COMPONENT, COMPONENT_SET (aggregated across variants), or INSTANCE: ids, names, property keys, dimensions, layout, current children.
• figma_append_to_slot — populate an instance's slot by cloning an existing node (sourceNodeId) or creating new content (nodeType + properties). Slot content cannot be set via figma_set_instance_properties — Figma rejects it by design; this tool is the population path. Clones snap to the slot origin in NONE-layout slots so they stay visible.
• figma_reset_slot — clear a slot's content on an instance.
• figma_add_slot_property — retrofit an existing frame as a slot via a manual SLOT property binding; supports description and preferredValues; works with frames inside a set's variant components; preserves the frame's existing property references.
• figma_add_component_property now supports the SLOT type, plus description/preferredValues options.

Changed

• figma_add_component_property validates defaultValue upfront: required and non-empty for TEXT, INSTANCE_SWAP, and VARIANT (Figma rejects an empty VARIANT default — live-validated), optional for BOOLEAN, omitted for SLOT.

Fixed

• Desktop Bridge relay: slot response payloads are now forwarded through the ui.html result whitelist (previously dropped for APPEND_TO_SLOT).
• APPEND_TO_SLOT no longer empties the slot before validating the source node — a bad sourceNodeId leaves existing slot content untouched, and cloning a main component is rejected before the clone (no more orphaned duplicates).

⚠️ Plugin re-import required

code.js + ui.html changed. In Figma Desktop: Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest → ~/.figma-console-mcp/plugin/manifest.json (the MCP server refreshes this folder on startup).

Tool counts: 112 (Local) / 101 (Cloud) / 9 (Remote read-only).
