Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Touchpoint
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Install with pip install touchpoint-py, then configure the MCP server in your client by adding the touchpoint-mcp command (see client setup details in the README). Use the library API for direct automation: import touchpoint as tp, then call functions like tp.find(), tp.click(), tp.elements(), and tp.wait_for().

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
