Let an AI agent draw on your screen — a macOS menu-bar app that gives agents a pen over MCP.

About annotate

- Learn a new app - Get a pointer in a game - Find help with a complex idea

Annotate allows your agent to draw directly on your screen.

Wanted to learn Blender but found it too complex?

Not sure where to put your next drop in a tower defence game?

Working on a new idea but something’s not quite right?

Your agent could tell you the exact x and y coordinates, but that’s not very helpful...

Now your agent can point directly on your screen.

Talking of learning Blender, here’s a small demo of Claude giving a walkthrough of Blender’s tools.

------ annotatecircle Loop something. The workhorse — takes a label. annotateunderline Underline a phrase, keeping the words readable. annotatehighlight Wash a marker over a region. annotatearrow Point at something you can’t draw around. annotatetext Say something when there’s no control to indicate. annotatelocate Find a real element’s position, so nothing is guessed. annotatescreens Which display, and at what scale. annotateclear Erase everything.

- Permissions. Annotate needs Accessibility (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility) the first time it runs. Nothing else does.

- Privacy. Annotate draws, and reads UI element positions. It never captures your screen and makes no network connections.

- Trust. Drawing and reading are not held to the same standard, because they are not the same authority.

Once Annotate is installed, the MCP server is already on disk — it ships inside the app bundle:
