Because it runs on your logged-in session rather than a business number, it reaches the chats you actually use - and the same four capabilities are there on the command line when you would rather type than ask.
An MCP server built on whatsapp-web.js that drives your own WhatsApp account over stdio. Four tools: send a message to a contact by name or number, read recent messages from a chat, list recent chats with previews, and search contacts by name. The same four jobs are also available as a command-line tool.
- A message sent to a contact by name or by phone number
- Recent messages from a chat, read back
- Your recent chats listed with a preview of each
- Contacts found by name
Node.js 18+ and a WhatsApp account. Authenticate once by running the auth command and scanning the QR code with your phone; the session is stored locally and survives restarts. This drives your personal account rather than the Business API, so anything it sends goes out as you.
