WhatsApp MCP

WhatsApp MCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects WhatsApp to AI assistants, so tools such as Claude can read, search and act on your WhatsApp conversations through a standard MCP interface. The project is published on GitHub under the MIT license, has collected about 6,700 stars, and was last updated in 2025.

Overview

Instead of keeping WhatsApp locked inside the phone app, WhatsApp MCP exposes it to MCP-compatible clients as a set of tools. An AI assistant connected to the server can look up chats, search message history for specific conversations, review contacts and send messages on your behalf. Because it implements the open MCP standard, it works with the growing ecosystem of MCP clients rather than a single vendor’s app, and it runs locally so your chat data flows through your own machine and WhatsApp account.
