Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check WhatsApp MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: META_ACCESS_TOKEN (Meta API access token with whatsapp_business_messaging and whatsapp_business_management permissions), META_WABA_ID (WhatsApp Business Account ID), META_PHONE_NUMBER_ID (WhatsApp phone number ID), META_APP_ID (Meta app ID (for media uploads)), META_API_VERSION (Meta Graph API version (defaults to v24.0)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

WhatsApp MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for WhatsApp MCP Server?

WhatsApp MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package jina-whatsapp-mcp was installed 57 times last week.

How do I connect WhatsApp MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls jina-whatsapp-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use WhatsApp MCP Server?

The pypi package jina-whatsapp-mcp was installed 57 times in the last week. Week over week that is +14%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is WhatsApp MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
