Wire WhatsApp outbound messaging into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex so your agent can notify users or run support flows without leaving the IDE.
Overview
io.github.gaviwhatsapp/whatsapp is a MCP server for the Build phase that exposes WhatsApp send capabilities to Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex over stdio.
What is this MCP server?
- stdio MCP server (npm @gaviwhatsapp/mcp v0.1.2) for Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex
- Send WhatsApp messages from agent workflows via Model Context Protocol tools
- Requires YOUR_API_KEY secret env var for the WhatsApp service
- Repository: github.com/gaviwhatsapp/gaviwhatsapp (mcp subfolder)
- Package version 0.1.2
- Single required secret env: YOUR_API_KEY
- Transport: stdio npm @gaviwhatsapp/mcp
What problem does it solve?
Your agent can code and reason but cannot reach customers on WhatsApp without you context-switching to another app or custom scripts.
Who is it for?
Solo builders shipping agent-backed SaaS or internal tools who already use MCP and need simple outbound WhatsApp from the IDE.
Skip if: Teams needing inbox sync, templates marketplace, or WhatsApp Business API compliance without bringing their own policies and keys.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server and API key, your agent can invoke MCP tools to send WhatsApp messages as part of build and ship workflows.
- Registered stdio MCP server in agent config
- Agent-callable tools to send WhatsApp messages
- Secret env binding for YOUR_API_KEY

Journey fit
WhatsApp is an external channel integration you add while building agent-powered products, not a discovery or launch-only tactic. MCP stdio transport and npm package @gaviwhatsapp/mcp belong in integrations—the step where solo builders connect third-party APIs to their coding agents.
How it compares
MCP messaging integration, not a full customer-support skill or marketing automation suite.
