### Description (declared)

# WhatsApp MCP Server

A server that provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface to interact with WhatsApp Business API using FastMCP.

## Introduction

WhatsApp MCP Server is a Python implementation that enables language models like Claude to interact with WhatsApp functionality through [GreenAPI](https://green-api.com/). It leverages FastMCP for improved performance, better developer experience, and a cleaner implementation.

## Features

- **Messaging**: Send text messages to WhatsApp contacts
- **Group Management**: Create groups, list members, add/remove participants
- **Session Handling**: Manage WhatsApp API sessions
- **Chat History**: Retrieve chat lists and message history

## WhatsApp API Client

This project uses the `whatsapp-api-client-python` library to interact with WhatsApp. The client provides access to the WhatsApp Cloud API, which requires a [GreenAPI](https://green-api.com/) account to use.

### Environment Variables

This project uses environment variables for configuration:

- `GREENAPI_ID_INSTANCE`: Your GreenAPI ID instance
- `GREENAPI_API_TOKEN`: Your GreenAPI API token

You can either set these in your environment or use the provided `.env` file (see Installation instructions).

## Installation

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/whatsapp-mcp-server.git
cd whatsapp-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
pip install -e .

# Set up environment variables
cp .env-template .env
# Edit the .env file with your GreenAPI credentials
```

## Usage

Run the MCP server:

```bash
# Run the MCP server on default host (127.0.0.1) and port (8000)
whatsapp-mcp

# Specify host and port
whatsapp-mcp --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000
```

For debugging:

```bash
whatsapp-mcp --debug
```

The server communicates using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and can be accessed via HTTP or WebSockets when running with FastMCP.
