How can I modify mission planner settings through an external script?

Ground Control Software Mission Planner
1

Good day.
I’m quite new to these topics. However I’m designing parts of a sensor survey-drone software which needs Location and heading of the drone sent to mission planner to be used as a geotag on data. I was able to do that using “NMEA output” feature and made a TCP server to get it.
The problem is, that I want it to be an automated action so I don’t have to tell the user to got there and do that then run my software to get the NMEA location data.

Is there any way to automatically set these settings? something like a script to run mission planner and feed it with specific settings?

Mission planner already has tools for geotagging images.
If you want accurate geotagging, I would recommend using similar log-based postprocessing approach or onboard integration if your camera can take GPS input.
