What is the Whasapo MCP server?

Whasapo MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. WhatsApp MCP server. Send and read WhatsApp messages from any AI assistant that supports MCP — Claude desktop, Claude Code, OpenClaw, and more.

What the assistant can call

Once Whasapo is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • send_message — Send a text message to a contact or group
  • list_chats — List recent chats with last message preview
  • get_messages — Get messages, optionally filtered by chat
  • search_contacts — Search contacts by name or phone number
  • OpenClaw — The OpenClaw tool exposed by this server

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Choosing this one

This sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Whasapo's toolset — send_message, list_chats, get_messages and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by toloco; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Whasapo's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the whasapo mcp server does with a few real requests.
