Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that executes the waha_send_location MCP tool. Validates input parameters, calls the underlying WAHAClient.sendLocation method, formats the success response using formatSendMessageSuccess, and returns structured MCP content with location details.
    private async handleSendLocation(args: any) {
      const chatId = args.chatId;
      const latitude = args.latitude;
      const longitude = args.longitude;
      const title = args.title;
      const replyTo = args.replyTo;
    
      if (!chatId) {
        throw new Error("chatId is required");
      }
    
      if (latitude === undefined || longitude === undefined) {
        throw new Error("latitude and longitude are required");
      }
    
      const response = await this.wahaClient.sendLocation({
        chatId,
        latitude,
        longitude,
        title,
        reply_to: replyTo,
      });
    
      const formattedResponse = formatSendMessageSuccess(
        chatId,
        response.id,
        response.timestamp
      );
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `${formattedResponse}\nLocation: ${latitude}, ${longitude}${title ? `\nTitle: ${title}` : ''}`,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • Input schema and metadata definition for the waha_send_location tool, returned by the ListToolsRequestSchema handler.
      name: "waha_send_location",
      description: "Send location coordinates to a WhatsApp chat.",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          chatId: {
            type: "string",
            description: "Chat ID (format: number@c.us)",
          },
          latitude: {
            type: "number",
            description: "Latitude coordinate",
          },
          longitude: {
            type: "number",
            description: "Longitude coordinate",
          },
          title: {
            type: "string",
            description: "Optional title/name for the location",
          },
          replyTo: {
            type: "string",
            description: "Optional message ID to reply to",
          },
        },
        required: ["chatId", "latitude", "longitude"],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:1083-1084 (registration)
    Registration/dispatch case in the CallToolRequestSchema handler that routes calls to the waha_send_location tool to its handler function.
    case "waha_send_location":
      return await this.handleSendLocation(args);
  • WAHAClient.sendLocation helper method that performs the actual HTTP POST request to WAHA API endpoint /api/sendLocation to send the location message.
    async sendLocation(params: {
      chatId: string;
      latitude: number;
      longitude: number;
      title?: string;
      reply_to?: string;
    }): Promise<SendMessageResponse> {
      const { chatId, latitude, longitude, title, reply_to } = params;
    
      if (!chatId) {
        throw new WAHAError("chatId is required");
      }
    
      if (latitude === undefined || longitude === undefined) {
        throw new WAHAError("latitude and longitude are required");
      }
    
      const body = {
        chatId,
        latitude,
        longitude,
        title,
        session: this.session,
        reply_to,
      };
    
      return this.request<SendMessageResponse>("/api/sendLocation", {
        method: "POST",
        body: JSON.stringify(body),
      });
    }
