whatsapp-mcpWhatsApp MCP server

WhatsApp MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp, allowing users to search and read personal WhatsApp messages, search contacts, send messages, and media files. It connects directly to a personal WhatsApp account via the WhatsApp web multidevice API. All messages are stored locally in a SQLite database and only sent to an LLM when accessed through tools. The server supports sending and receiving various media types, including images, videos, documents, and audio messages. It requires Python 3.6+, UV package manager, and optionally FFmpeg for audio message conversion. The project is available on GitHub and can be integrated with tools like Anthropic Claude or Cursor. The WhatsApp MCP server provides a local storage solution for WhatsApp messages and media, allowing for secure and controlled access. It also supports sending media files and audio messages in various formats. However, users should be aware of potential security risks associated with project injection and private data exfiltration. The installation process involves cloning the repository, running the WhatsApp bridge application, and connecting to the MCP server. The server can be configured to work with Claude Desktop or Cursor by creating a configuration file. The architecture of the WhatsApp MCP server involves a Go-based WhatsApp bridge and a Python-based MCP server. The bridge connects to the WhatsApp web API, while the MCP server handles local storage and integration with other tools.
