whatsapp_connect

WhatsApp · macOS · Windows

Effect: send (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Link WhatsApp to Local MCP by showing a QR code right here in the chat — no Terminal needed. Call this, then on your phone open WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device, and scan the QR shown. After you scan, WhatsApp tools (whatsapp_list_chats, whatsapp_read_messages, …) start working. Local MCP connects ONE WhatsApp account at a time; to switch to a different account, run whatsapp_disconnect first. If WhatsApp is already linked, it just reports that.

Required inputs

No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.

Permissions and confirmation

No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.

Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.

Purpose

Link WhatsApp to Local MCP by showing a QR code right here in the chat — no Terminal needed. Call this, then on your phone open WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device, and scan the QR shown. After you scan, WhatsApp tools (whatsapp_list_chats, whatsapp_read_messages, …) start working. Local MCP can link more than one WhatsApp account: add_account: true (with an optional label) links ANOTHER account with its own QR, scanned from that account's phone; `account` re-links one listed by whatsapp_list_accounts. Without arguments it links the default account. If that account is already linked, it just reports that.
