WhatsAble MCP server

The WhatsAble MCP server puts your WhatsApp Business numbers inside the AI assistant you already use. You ask in plain words, and the assistant does the work in WhatsAble for you:

• "Who wrote to us today and has not had an answer?"
• "Send the order_ready template to Maria with order number 1042."
• "Turn off the AI agent for this customer, I will answer myself."
• "Label everyone who asked about prices as Lead."
• "Show me the broadcasts we sent this week and how many were read."

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard that AI apps use to call tools in other services. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code and many other apps support it.

The server URLCopy Anchor Link

https://api.whatsable.app/mcp

Add this URL as an MCP server, connector or custom app in your AI app. The app then opens a WhatsAble page where you sign in and choose what the app may do. You never copy a key.

Connect your AI appCopy Anchor Link

What you needCopy Anchor Link

• An active Pro or Agency plan. The Bulk Message plan does not include the API, so it cannot connect an AI app.
• At least one connected WhatsApp number.
• To be an owner or an admin of the organization. A member cannot connect an AI app.

What the assistant can doCopy Anchor Link

Ask it what it can doCopy Anchor Link

You don't need to learn the tool names. Ask "What can you do with WhatsAble?" and the assistant reads the server's guide: what this connection can do, the suggested workflows, and the WhatsApp rules it must follow. Apps that show MCP prompts, such as Claude, also list the workflows as ready-made prompts.

How it keeps you in controlCopy Anchor Link

• You choose the access. When you connect, you pick what the app can do and which numbers it can use. You can revoke it at any time.
• Your AI app asks before it acts. Most apps ask you to approve each tool that sends or changes something. Read the request before you approve it: each send sends one real WhatsApp message.
• A refused message is never reported as sent. When WhatsApp refuses a message, the tool result starts with "Not sent" and says why. Not sent results explains them.
• The server follows the same rules as the API. Every tool calls the WhatsAble API v1, with the same scopes, number limits and rate limits as an API key.

How it fits with the rest of WhatsAbleCopy Anchor Link

• Team Inbox. A message your assistant sends is a normal message of the conversation. Your team sees it in the inbox right away, and can reply from there.
• The AI agent. The assistant can turn the AI agent off in one conversation so you can answer yourself, and turn it back on. With Full access it can also read and change an AI agent's prompt and settings. The AI agent treats a message your assistant sends like a reply from your team, for example when it decides whether to follow up.
• Labels. The assistant finds contacts by label, adds and removes labels, and sends broadcasts to a label.
• Team roles. Only owners and admins can connect an AI app. The connection works for the whole organization, within the numbers you approved, so treat it like an API key.
• The API. Every tool calls the WhatsAble API v1. What your assistant can do, your own code can do too.
• Zapier, Make and n8n. Use them for automations that run on their own, such as a template when a deal closes. Use the MCP server when you want to ask for something in a conversation. A message the assistant sends fires the same outgoing webhooks as one sent from the inbox, so your automations see it.
