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:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Paint Drawing AgentCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository, install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, create a .env file with your Google API key, then run python talk2mcp.py and enter natural language commands like "Draw a red circle in the center". Type 'quit' to exit.

Paint Drawing Agent
A Python-based automation tool that uses Google's Gemini AI to control Microsoft Paint through natural language commands. This project enables users to draw shapes, write text, and manipulate colors in MS Paint using simple English instructions.
Features
- Natural language control of MS Paint
- Automated drawing of shapes (circles, rectangles, lines)
- Text insertion with position control
- Color selection and management
- Window management and canvas positioning
- Detailed logging and error handling
- Position calibration system
Prerequisites
- Windows 10 or later
- Python 3.8+
- Microsoft Paint (mspaint.exe)
- Google Cloud API key for Gemini AI
Installation
1. Clone the repository:
git clone [repository-url]
cd paint-drawing-agent
2. Install required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Create a .env file in the project root and add your Google API key:
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage
1. Start the Paint Drawing Agent:
python talk2mcp.py
2. Enter natural language commands, for example:
- "Draw a red circle in the center"
- "Write 'Hello World' in black at the top"
- "Draw a blue rectangle on the right side"
3. To exit the program, type 'quit'
Command Examples
> Draw a red circle in the center
> Write 'Hello World' in black at the top
> Draw a blue rectangle at coordinates 400,300
> Draw a green line from top to bottom
Calibration
The system uses a calibration system to accurately locate Paint interface elements. To recalibrate:
1. Run the calibration script:
python enhanced_calibrate.py
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate tool positions
Logging
The system maintains several types of logs:
- Application logs: /logs/paint_agent_[timestamp].log
- LLM interaction logs: /LLM_LOGS/session_log.json
- Calibration logs: /calibration_profiles/
Error Handling
The system includes comprehensive error handling for:
- Window management issues
- Drawing operation failures
- AI communication errors
- Position calibration problems

Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions:
1. Paint Window Not Found
- Ensure MS Paint is installed
- Try running Paint manually first
2. Drawing Position Issues
- Run calibration again
- Check screen resolution matches calibration
3. AI Communication Errors
- Verify API key in .env file
- Check internet connection
