Whatsapp Claude Plugin

WhatsApp Channel for Claude Code

Drive your Claude Code session from WhatsApp. Choose a linked device for a
personal account or the official WhatsApp Cloud API for business DMs.

The default Baileys provider connects like WhatsApp Web: pair your phone, then
Claude replies from your own number. Existing installations keep this provider.
The optional Cloud API provider uses Meta's business API and a public HTTPS
webhook, with its own credentials, messaging policies and applicable fees.
Both providers feed the same MCP channel and access gate.
Community project. This plugin is not made or endorsed by Anthropic or Meta.
Its Baileys provider uses an unofficial linked-device protocol, which may
conflict with WhatsApp's terms and put the number at risk. The optional Cloud
provider uses official API transport; confirm your use is permitted under
Meta's business and AI-provider rules before enabling it.

Installation

The --dangerously-load-development-channels flag matters: it registers the plugin as a channel, so an inbound WhatsApp message wakes your session immediately. Without it the tools still load, but nothing wakes the session when messages arrive — they sit unanswered until you (or a watchdog) prompt Claude to check. --channels does not accept this plugin yet (it is not on the research-preview allowlist), so the development flag is currently the only way.
Know what this flag does. Claude Code warns against loading downloaded channels this way: a loaded channel can put text from other people straight into your session. Read this plugin's code before you use it, keep the allowlist to people you trust, and keep permission prompts on. Never combine it with --dangerously-skip-permissions: with prompts off, anyone in an allowlisted chat could get Claude to run commands on…
