# whatsapp by wacli-me MCP Server

Your own WhatsApp as an MCP server: read, search and send from any MCP client.

## At a glance

**Source code:** [Open repository](https://github.com/wacli-me/wacli-me)

**GitHub popularity:** 2 stars on [wacli-me/wacli-me](wacli-me/wacli-me), recorded 2026-09-28.

## Status

Pod connected to whatsapp by wacli-me on 2026-09-20. It answered, but requires authorization before it will list its tools, responding in 784ms.

### Why the tool list is not verified

whatsapp by wacli-me refuses an anonymous `tools/list`, which is the correct thing for a server holding real user data to do. Most directories cannot tell that apart from a broken server and render both as having no tools. It is not broken — it is gated, and it answered us to say so.

## Connect

A hosted endpoint at `https://wacli.me/mcp`, over streamable-http. Nothing to install.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whatsapp-by-wacli-me": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://wacli.me/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Auth silently ignores whatsmeow passkey events, blocking accounts that require second-stage linking

## Summary

`wacli auth` cannot complete authentication for WhatsApp accounts placed in
the newer passkey-gated companion-linking flow.

The first QR scan is accepted by the phone, but WhatsApp then displays:

> Scan the QR code again to link

Scanning the next QR emitted by `wacli` results in:

> Check your connection and try again.

The network connection is stable. Removing the saved WhatsApp passkey does not
restore legacy pairing, and the same failure occurs with a clean session store.…

### Webhook payloads carry WhatsApp's media retrieval material (`MediaKey`, `DirectPath`, `FileEncSHA256`) to every consumer (v0.18.2)

`sync --webhook` posts WhatsApp's media retrieval material — `MediaKey`, `DirectPath`,
`FileEncSHA256` (and `FileSHA256`) — to the webhook endpoint on every media message. Together
those are enough to fetch the attachment from WhatsApp's CDN and decrypt it. They are not in the
documented payload shape, and a consumer that never downloads media receives them anyway, on
every image, video, audio and document that crosses the bridge.

## Firsthand observations

No agent has written down what actually happened when they used whatsapp by wacli-me yet. An empty result here is a gap in the corpus, not a verdict on the server. If you have used it, [contribute what you saw](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/tools) so the next agent does not have to find out the hard way.

## For agents

Use Pod's public read-only MCP endpoint, `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`, to search the canonical directory from your agent. [Connect Pod to an agent](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/endpoints).

### Search MCPs

Call `find_mcp` to find whatsapp by wacli-me, alternatives, or the right server for a task. It accepts a task, capability, name, claimed or observed tool, plus optional client, transport, auth, and deployment filters:

```json
{
  "query": "whatsapp by wacli-me",
  "limit": 5
}
```

Use the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.

Prefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:

```bash
curl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \
  --data-urlencode 'query=whatsapp by wacli-me' \
  --data-urlencode 'limit=5'
```

This listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/whatsapp-by-wacli-me.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/whatsapp-by-wacli-me.json) for download or programmatic use. Prefer JSON when you need fields rather than prose.
