Overview
The WhatsApp MCP server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp. It enables AI to search and read personal WhatsApp messages (including images, videos, documents, and audio messages), search contacts, and send messages to individuals or groups. It connects directly to your personal WhatsApp account and operates via the WhatsApp Web multi-device API using the whatsmeow library. All messages are stored locally in an SQLite database, and only sent to the LLM (e.g., Claude) when accessed through tools. Designed for developers who need to integrate WhatsApp into AI systems.
