Related MCP Connectors

  • WhatsApp (Web + Business API), SMS, contacts, and call records via 2Chat's MCP server.

  • WhatsMCP connects Claude and other MCP-compatible AI agents directly to WhatsApp. Send and receive text, images, documents, and voice notes; manage groups (create, add/remove members, promote admins); look up contacts and profiles; follow channels; and read call and message history — all through a standard MCP interface. For voice use cases, WhatsMCP offers SIP-based calling plans (inbound-only, or full inbound/outbound) so AI voice agents can answer and place WhatsApp calls, plus low-latency WebSocket integrations with voice agent providers like ElevenLabs. Multiple WhatsApp accounts can be paired and managed per workspace, with webhook support for real-time inbound message delivery to your own infrastructure.

  • Drive WhatsApp from any MCP client: pair devices, send text and media, manage contacts and groups.

  • Unified messaging MCP server: WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, SMS, Messenger & email support inbox
