ManyContacts MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ManyContacts — the WhatsApp Business CRM. Enables AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to manage contacts, send WhatsApp messages, run campaigns, configure AI auto-replies, and perform all CRM operations programmatically.

Quick Start

1. Get your CLI token

npm install -g @manycontacts/cli

Already have an account? Log in:

mc auth login --email user@example.com --password mypassword
mc auth whoami   # verify it works

New to ManyContacts? Create an account and connect your WhatsApp channel:

# Register a new account
mc auth register --email user@example.com --name "My Company"

# Connect a WhatsApp Business channel (choose one method):
mc channels connect whatsapp-api      # WhatsApp Cloud API (recommended)
mc channels connect coexistence       # ManyContacts coexistence mode
mc channels connect qr                # QR code pairing

# Verify everything is set up
mc auth whoami
mc channels list

2. Configure in your MCP client

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP settings (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json or similar):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manycontacts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@manycontacts/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MC_CLI_TOKEN": "your-cli-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manycontacts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@manycontacts/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MC_CLI_TOKEN": "your-cli-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: If you've already logged in via the CLI (mc auth login), the token is stored in ~/.manycontacts/config.json and the MCP server will pick it up automatically — no MC_CLI_TOKEN env var needed.
