Show HN: WhatsApp MCP Server

Hi HN – I built an open-source, self-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp: https://github.com/lharries/whatsapp-mcp

It connects to your personal WhatsApp account via the WhatsApp Web multi-device API (using whatsmeow from the Beeper team), and doesn't rely on third-party APIs. All messages are stored locally in SQLite. Nothing is sent to the cloud unless you explicitly allow your LLM to access the data via tools – so you maintain full control and privacy.

The MCP server can:

- Search your messages, contacts, and groups

- Send WhatsApp messages to individuals or groups

Why build this?

99% of your life is stored in WhatsApp, by connecting an LLM to WhatsApp you get all this context. And your AI agent can execute tasks on your behalf by sending messages.
