Install

How do I install the WhatsApp MCP server?

WhatsApp is a hosted endpoint at https://api.mcp.ai/p_whatsapp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 47 exposed · ~5,729 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
authenticate ~99

MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.

NameTypeReqDescription
tokenstring––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

connect ~42

Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

marketplace ~532

The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

whatsapp_config_set ~184

Change an editable-after-connect setting on a connected number WITHOUT re-pairing. Today the only field is `proxy_url` — the SOCKS5/HTTPS proxy WhatsApp connects through (recommended to avoid IP bans). Owner/admin or the connection owner. - `account`: which number (id/wa_jid, phone, or label; omit if only one is connected). - `values`: e.g. { "proxy_url": "socks5://user:pass@host:port" }. An empty string CLEARS the field (e.g. { "proxy_url": "" } connects with no proxy); omit the key to keep the current value. The new value applies on the next (re)connection; the live session cache is invalidated so the next tool call uses it.

whatsapp_history_backfill ~260

Request OLDER messages for a chat from your phone (on-demand history sync), extending what whatsapp_messages can read. Returns { status, messages_added }: - "done"/"partial": it pulled messages_added new messages — read them via whatsapp_messages (paginate with `before`). "partial" means WhatsApp stopped early; wait and retry for more. - "cooldown": you requested this chat <60s ago (retry_after_s tells you when). WhatsApp THROTTLES back-to-back requests — DO NOT retry in a loop; wait, then try once. - "timeout": the phone didn't deliver in time (offline or throttled) — already-synced history is still readable; retry later. BEST-EFFORT (gated by WhatsApp): one call usually pulls a batch (~50–70 msgs); pulling much deeper repeatedly often won't work. Connects live, may take up to ~1 minute. The initial sync already loaded deep history for most chats — check whatsapp_history_coverage first; only backfill when a chat's oldest_ts isn't far enough back.

whatsapp_sync ~97

Refresh this account's local data from WhatsApp — pulls recent messages and refreshes the groups/contacts lists into the local store. Call it BEFORE reading (chats/groups/messages/contacts/search) when results look stale or empty (e.g. right after connecting, or an account that hasn't synced recently). Connects live, so it may take ~20–60s. Returns { messages_stored }.

whatsapp_webhook_get ~65

Show this WhatsApp install's outbound webhook: the current URL, the subscribed events (empty = all), include_result, and the catalog of subscribable events (available_events — e.g. whatsapp.message, whatsapp.reaction, and the whatsapp.* wildcard). Owner/admin only.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

whatsapp_webhook_set ~201

Set (or remove) this WhatsApp install's outbound webhook. Owner/admin only. - To set: pass `url` (https only, not localhost). `events` is the list of subscribed events ("permissions") — e.g. ["whatsapp.message"], or ["whatsapp.*"] for every WhatsApp event, or [] / omit for ALL events. See available_events from whatsapp_webhook_get. `include_result` (default true) controls whether the tool result is included in tool.call payloads. `secret` is optional (reserved). - Subscribing to any whatsapp.* event makes the daemon hold a live connection per number and forward inbound messages to your URL. - To remove the webhook: pass `remove: true` (or an empty url).

Common questions

What is the WhatsApp MCP server?

WhatsApp is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.mcp-dir/whatsapp-mcp. Connect a personal/Business WhatsApp account via QR pairing (multi-device, like WhatsApp Web). Send. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.mcp.ai/p_whatsapp).

Is the WhatsApp MCP server safe to use?

WhatsApp scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the WhatsApp MCP server expose?

WhatsApp exposes 47 tools: whatsapp_list_accounts, whatsapp_sync, whatsapp_send_text, whatsapp_send_media, whatsapp_chats, and 42 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 5,729 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the WhatsApp MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to WhatsApp without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the WhatsApp MCP server still maintained?

WhatsApp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
