Connect your AI assistant to WhatsApp using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Send messages, manage groups, channels, communities, catalogs, labels, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI tool.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that enables AI assistants to connect with external tools and services. Think of it as a universal adapter between AI and your applications.
With the Maytapi MCP Server, your AI assistant can directly interact with the WhatsApp API -- sending messages, managing contacts, handling groups, channels, communities, catalogs, and more -- all through natural language commands.
No installation required. Add the following configuration to your MCP client settings:
