# get_node_info

> Get detailed information about a specific node in Figma

## 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

<ParamField path="nodeId" type="string" required>
  The ID of the node to get information about.
</ParamField>

## Return Value

Returns a detailed JSON object containing full node information:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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
  ]
}
```

<Note>
  Colors are automatically converted to hex format. VECTOR nodes are filtered out to reduce verbosity.
</Note>

## Usage Example

```typescript theme={null}
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

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

<Note>
  Use `get_selection` first to obtain node IDs, or use `scan_text_nodes` or `scan_nodes_by_types` to discover node IDs.
</Note>

## 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
