**Connect your personal WhatsApp number to Claude, ChatGPT, or any
Model Context Protocol client — and reply automatically when you are away.**

Self-hosted, open source, and a single process. One phone number, 23 MCP tools,
a web UI that looks like WhatsApp Web, and an auto-reply you configure rather
than code.

No Redis, no database server, no build step. SQLite is the default and ships
with Python.

> **This project is independent and is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.**
> It links to your account the same way WhatsApp Web does, through
> [whatsmeow](https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow). Use it at your own risk:
> WhatsApp's Terms of Service govern what you may do with your account, and
> automating replies to real people is your responsibility, not this
> project's.
