Whatsapp MCP Overview

The lharries/whatsapp-mcp MCP server connects an agent to a personal WhatsApp account through WhatsApp Web's multidevice API. It stores message history locally in SQLite and exposes tools for searching contacts, reading chats, retrieving media, and sending messages or files to individuals and groups. Use it when you need agent-assisted access to personal WhatsApp data through Claude Desktop or Cursor. WhatsApp authentication requires scanning a QR code, and both the Go bridge and Python MCP server must be running.
