Connect Claude
uautsapp is an MCP server. Claude connects to it over HTTPS with OAuth; there is nothing to install.
In claude.ai or Claude Desktop
- In the panel, open the MCP access tab and copy your workspace address. It ends in
/mcp. - In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste the address.
- Claude registers itself and sends you back to your panel to approve it. Tick Allow sending messages only if you want Claude to be able to reply; leave it clear for read-only.
- Back in Claude, start a conversation and ask something. The first time, Claude may ask you for permission before using each tool.
In Claude Code
Claude Code cannot run the browser approval, so it uses a token instead. In the MCP access tab, create a token, name it after the machine that will hold it, and decide whether it may send. Then:
claude mcp add whatsapp --transport http https://<your-workspace>/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"The token is shown once. Each token records when and from where it was last used, and any one can be revoked on its own.
Read only, or read and send
The choice at approval is enforced on the server. A read-only client gets every tool except send_message, and asking nicely does not change that. A client allowed to send is still subject to the limits in your settings: per minute, per day, and the fan-out cap on the same text.
If in doubt, start read-only. You can approve a second client with sending later, and revoke either from the panel.
Things to try
- “What is waiting for a reply since yesterday?”
- “Find where Ana mentioned the invoice, and summarise what we agreed.”
- “Which groups were active this week, and about what?”
- “Draft a reply to Dr. Souza confirming Thursday — show me before sending.”
