For your agent

Add the hosted MCP server

Best for Claude, Codex, and other MCP clients. Copy one command, run it locally, then approve OAuth in the browser.

For your product

Build with the REST API

Best for app backends, jobs, webhooks, and internal tools. Start the trial, create an API key, then call the hosted API from your code.

how it works

Your agent gets WhatsApp. You stay in control.

Pair once, choose MCP or API, and decide when your agent can read, search, or send.

Sign up

Start the free trial and get one place to manage billing, keys, scopes, and connected accounts.

02

Pair an account

Scan the pairing code with WhatsApp. We keep the connection hosted so your agent does not need a browser.

04

Automate your workflow

Read conversations, search history, react to events, and send only when write access is turned on.

faq

Frequently asked questions

The important details: account safety, connecting WhatsApp, API vs. MCP, what your agent can do, pricing, and privacy.

Is this the official WhatsApp Business API?

No. WhatsApp Use links to a WhatsApp account the same way the WhatsApp Web and desktop apps do — you scan a code once. There are no message templates to get approved and no Business API account to set up.

Will connecting my account get it banned?

WhatsApp Use connects as a linked device, just like WhatsApp Web — it is not a modified or unofficial app. The main thing to avoid is spammy, high-volume sending, so your agent can stay read-only and you control how and how often it messages. Use it the way you would use WhatsApp yourself.

How do I connect a WhatsApp account?

The account owner opens WhatsApp, goes to Linked Devices, and scans the code shown in your dashboard. We host the connection from there, so your agent never needs a phone or browser open. The account stays connected until you disconnect it.

Should I use the API or MCP?

Use the REST API when you are writing your own code — a backend, a scheduled job, or a script. Use MCP to drop WhatsApp into an AI client like Claude or Codex; it signs in with OAuth, so there are no keys to copy around. You can use both.

Can my agent send messages, or only read?

You decide, per connection. Keep an agent read-only so it can search and summarize but not message anyone, then turn on send access for that API key or MCP connection when you are ready — and switch it back off whenever you want.

How does pricing work?

Start with a 7-day free trial. After that, each WhatsApp account you keep connected is $6/month — so two accounts is $12/month, and so on. Cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged.
