## Introduction

### How to integrate Whatsapp MCP with OpenCode
This guide explains how to connect Whatsapp MCP to OpenCode using Composio Connect, which simplifies OAuth, API changes, and reliability concerns.
There are two ways to set this up:
- Via [Composio Connect MCP](https://dashboard.composio.dev/)
- Via the [Composio CLI](https://dashboard.composio.dev/)

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio?
Composio provides a single MCP server or CLI tool that exposes a set of meta-tools, allowing you to:
- Connect to 1,000+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your LLM context window with unnecessary tool definitions.
- Use programmatic tool calling through a remote Bash tool, letting LLMs write their own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls.
- Handle large tool responses outside the LLM context to keep conversations lean.

## Connect Whatsapp to OpenCode

### Connect Whatsapp with OpenCode
### Option 1: Using Composio CLI
### 1. Install Composio CLI
Install the Composio CLI, authenticate, and initialize your project:

```bash
# Install the Composio CLI
curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash

# Authenticate with Composio
composio login
```

## What is the Whatsapp MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Whatsapp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your WhatsApp Business account. It provides structured and secure access to your business messaging platform, so your agent can perform actions like sending messages, managing templates, retrieving business info, and automating customer interactions on your behalf.
- Automated messaging and contact sharing: Let your agent send messages or share contacts directly with customers who have initiated a conversation, making follow-ups and support quick and seamless.
- Template management and automation: Easily create, retrieve, and delete WhatsApp message templates for marketing or transactional outreach, and keep your approved messages organized.
- Business profile and phone management: Fetch and update business profile details or pull a full list of WhatsApp Business phone numbers connected to your account for easy management.
- Media access and metadata retrieval: Direct your agent to download sent media or fetch detailed information about uploaded files—perfect for handling customer attachments or verifying uploads.
- Template approval and status tracking: Automatically check the approval status of message templates, so your agent knows which templates are ready to use or need revision.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `WHATSAPP_CREATE_MESSAGE_TEMPLATE` | Create message template | Create a new message template for the whatsapp business account. templates must be approved by whatsapp before they can be used. templates are required for marketing messages and messages sent outside the 24-hour window. |
| `WHATSAPP_DELETE_MESSAGE_TEMPLATE` | Delete message template | Delete a message template from the whatsapp business account. this permanently removes the template and it cannot be recovered. only delete templates that are no longer needed. |

| `WHATSAPP_UPLOAD_MEDIA` | Upload media | Upload media files (images, videos, audio, documents, stickers) to whatsapp servers. the uploaded media gets a media id that can be used in send media or other messaging actions. supported formats: - images: jpeg, png (max 5mb) - videos: mp4, 3gpp (max 16mb) - audio: aac, m4a, amr, mp3, ogg (max 16mb) - documents: pdf, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx (max 100mb) - stickers: webp (max 500kb, 512x512 pixels) |

## Supported Triggers

| Trigger slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `WHATSAPP_MESSAGE_STATUS_UPDATED_TRIGGER` | Message Status Updated | Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

Once connected, OpenCode can access the Whatsapp MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that Whatsapp is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end.
- Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
- Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
- Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
- Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.
Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Whatsapp MCP?

With a standalone Whatsapp MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Whatsapp tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Whatsapp and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenCode?

Yes, you can. OpenCode fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Whatsapp tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Whatsapp while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Whatsapp scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Whatsapp data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
