README

WhatsApp MCP for macOS

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants control the native WhatsApp macOS app via accessibility APIs.

Features

Search contacts & chats with structured results (name, preview, time, section)
Open chats by clicking search results with index-based selection
Send messages with post-send verification
Read messages with parsed sender, text, timestamps
Get active chat info including subtitle and recent messages
Start/quit WhatsApp programmatically
Navigate between tabs (chats, calls, updates, settings)
Scroll through search results

Requirements

macOS 13+
WhatsApp desktop app installed
Accessibility permissions granted (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility)
Swift 5.9+ / Xcode

Installation

Via npm (recommended)

npm install -g whatsapp-mcp-macos

From source

git clone https://github.com/m13v/whatsapp-mcp-macos.git
cd whatsapp-mcp-macos
swift build -c release

Configuration

Add to your Claude Code config (~/.claude.json under mcpServers):

If installed via npm

"whatsapp": {
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "whatsapp-mcp",
  "args": [],
  "env": {}
}

If built from source

"whatsapp": {
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "/path/to/whatsapp-mcp-macos/.build/release/whatsapp-mcp",
  "args": [],
  "env": {}
}

Then restart Claude Code or run /mcp to reconnect.

Tools

Tool	Description
`whatsapp_status`	Check if WhatsApp is running and accessibility is granted
`whatsapp_start`	Launch WhatsApp if not running
`whatsapp_quit`	Quit WhatsApp (graceful + force fallback)
`whatsapp_search`	Search contacts/chats, returns indexed structured results
`whatsapp_open_chat`	Click the Nth search result to open a chat
`whatsapp_get_active_chat`	Get current chat name, subtitle, and recent messages
`whatsapp_send_message`	Send message in current chat with delivery verification
`whatsapp_read_messages`	Read messages from current chat
`whatsapp_scroll_search`	Scroll search results to load more
`whatsapp_list_chats`	List sidebar chats with unread counts
`whatsapp_navigate`	Switch tabs (chats, calls, updates, settings)

Workflow

The recommended workflow for sending a message:

1. whatsapp_search("contact name")     → returns indexed results
2. whatsapp_open_chat(index: 0)        → clicks result, returns active chat name
3. whatsapp_get_active_chat()           → verify correct chat + see recent messages
4. whatsapp_send_message("hello!")      → sends with delivery verification

How It Works

This MCP server uses macOS accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) to interact with the WhatsApp Catalyst app. It:

Traverses the accessibility tree to find UI elements
Clicks buttons by coordinates (with cursor position restoration)
Pastes text via clipboard (Cmd+V) for reliable input
Parses message descriptions from accessibility attributes
Detects section headers (Chats/Contacts) to categorize search results
