WhatsApp Business CRM: send messages, manage contacts, campaigns, and AI agents.
ManyContacts MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on ManyContacts directly instead of describing what you should do. WhatsApp Business CRM: send messages, manage contacts, campaigns, and AI agents.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ManyContacts — the WhatsApp Business CRM. Enables AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to manage contacts, send WhatsApp messages, run campaigns, configure AI auto-replies, and perform all CRM operations programmatically.
Once ManyContacts is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverContacts — All contact operations use phone numbers as identifiers (with country code, no + prefix, e.g. 34600000000)Messaging — The Messaging tool exposed by this serverTemplates — WhatsApp Business templates are pre-approved message formats required for outbound messaging outside the 24-hour conversation windowCampaigns — Campaigns allow bulk sending of WhatsApp template messages to a list of phone numbers at a scheduled timeTags — Tags are colored labels used to categorize and filter WhatsApp Business contacts (e.g. "VIP", "Support", "Lead")Teams — Teams group users together for assignment routing and contact organizationThe server ships on npm as @manycontacts/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
You will need one environment variable: MC_CLI_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
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. ManyContacts's toolset — Cursor, Contacts, Messaging and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ManyContacts; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against ManyContacts's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
