Announcing WhatsApp Business Tools MCP: Set up and manage WhatsApp business from your AI agent

Tác giả Zoë Lieberman

Your AI agent can now set up WhatsApp business messaging

Getting a WhatsApp Business integration running means moving between the Developer Console, Business Manager, the API reference, and your editor, then pasting an access token somewhere it shouldn't live. It's a lot of setup before you write any real code.

WhatsApp Business Tools MCP changes that. It's an MCP server that connects your Service Provider AI coding agent (Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT) to the WhatsApp Business Platform, directly in your workflow. You describe what you want; your agent handles the accounts, numbers, templates, and API calls.

Instructional video for implementing WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server

Setup through conversation

Ask your agent to set up WhatsApp Business messaging and it walks the whole path: checks your Terms of Service status, creates a WhatsApp Business Account, adds your phone number, verifies it over OTP, and registers it for the Cloud API.

Faster template iteration

Describe the message template you want and your agent creates it, or edits an existing one, and links you to its approval progress.

Test messages and webhooks

Send a real message from your registered number to validate the integration end to end, and configure callback URLs and field subscriptions without getting them subtly wrong.

Prerequisites, surfaced early

Terms of Service, payment method, and Business Verification usually fail quietly. Your agent checks them up front and deep-links you to whatever is missing.

Built with guardrails

You sign in with Facebook Login for Business and grant a specific set of scopes, so no tokens land in your prompt history. Before any tool runs, the server confirms you're an admin of the app, resolves the attached business, and verifies your Terms of Service are signed. Every read runs under your own viewer context, every invocation is logged, and anything that changes state requires an authenticated person rather than an app-level credential.

Which Meta MCP server should you use?

Use Meta Social Technologies MCP to discover Graph API endpoints, troubleshoot errors, and search documentation. Use WhatsApp Business Tools MCP for WhatsApp accounts, phone numbers, templates, webhooks, and test messages. They're complementary; install both if you need both.

Note: Meta Business Messaging MCP is rolling out gradually and may not be available to everyone yet.

Get started

Add the server to your agent's MCP configuration, sign in when prompted, and ask your agent to set up WhatsApp Business messaging. Full setup guide and tool reference can be found here.

This MCP is currently discoverable on Claude, Codex and ChatGPT.

This release is built for development and testing workflows, not production sending at scale.
