v0.0.1 — first release
First public release of WhatsApp MCP for macOS. Read-only WhatsApp access for Claude Desktop and Claude Code, fully local.
Install (Apple Silicon Macs, macOS 14+)
- Download
WhatsAppMCP-0.0.1-arm64.dmgbelow - Open the DMG, drag WhatsAppMCP to Applications
- Right-click WhatsAppMCP in /Applications → Open the first time (unsigned build — macOS records the approval after that)
- Pair your WhatsApp (phone-number code or QR)
- Click Configurar Claude Desktop, then restart Claude Desktop
- Ask Claude something like "quais são minhas conversas não lidas do WhatsApp?"
Known caveats
- arm64 only. Intel Macs not supported.
- Unsigned. Right-click → Open on first launch, or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
- Read-only. Never sends messages, never marks anything read, never changes your presence — by code structure, not just contract.
- WhatsApp can take a few seconds to push the first history chunks after pairing; the wizard waits.
What's in the DMG
- Electron + Baileys + SQLite (better-sqlite3), all bundled — zero system prerequisites
- pt-BR UI
- Per-tool toggles in Configurações
- Server-level prompt-injection posture sent in the MCP
