WhatsApp MCP by TimelinesAI

WhatsApp MCP by TimelinesAI is a communication tool. A remote MCP server from TimelinesAI that lets Claude, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients read, triage, label, assign and reply to WhatsApp chats through prompts. It uses OAuth sign-in, needs no API key, and connects personal or business numbers by QR code.

WhatsApp MCP by TimelinesAI is a remote Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents hands-on access to a real WhatsApp inbox. Once the connector is added, an MCP-capable assistant gets 18 tools for browsing chats, reading history, sending replies, labelling, assigning conversations and checking workspace state. Instead of clicking through a dashboard, the user describes the job in a sentence and the agent carries it out. The product is aimed at sales, support and operations teams that already handle customer conversations on WhatsApp, along with developers who want an agent to act on that inbox. Typical prompts on the page include grouping unread chats by rep and flagging anything stalled for two days, reassigning overnight chats to the right person, rebalancing workload across a team, and cleaning up labels by merging duplicates or tagging every chat that mentions a refund. In practice, setup is short. A TimelinesAI account with at least one connected WhatsApp number is required, since the server controls a live inbox rather than a demo environment. For Claude Code, a single terminal command registers the connector, a browser tab opens for OAuth sign-in, and prompting can begin. No API key is needed for the MCP route, and no WhatsApp Business API approval is required: personal or business numbers connect by scanning a QR code, and WABA numbers are supported as well. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex have documented setup paths, Claude Desktop uses the same configuration, and other MCP clients can point at the same server URL. OpenClaw and Hermes connect through skill packages that use the public API and a token. Buyers should take the safety model seriously. Messages sent through the agent are real, immediate and indistinguishable from ones typed by the user, and actions inherit the user's existing role permissions. Drafts saved as private notes offer a way to keep a human approving each send. Compared with building a custom integration on the WhatsApp Business API, this route trades flexibility for speed, and it sits alongside TimelinesAI's wider shared-inbox and CRM sync platform.
