01
⬇️

Download & Install the App

Download and run the Hello WhatsApp installer for your OS — Windows, Mac Intel, or Mac Apple Silicon (M1–M4). No setup fees for the app itself.

02
📱

Scan QR with WhatsApp

Open the app, scan the QR code with your phone using WhatsApp's "Link a Device" — just like you would with WhatsApp Web. Your session stays active.

03
🔌

Install into Claude Desktop

One click installs the MCP server into Claude Desktop. Quit and reopen Claude — and your WhatsApp tools appear automatically. No JSON editing required.

04
🤖

Start Chatting Through Claude

Ask Claude to "send a message to [contact]" or "read my latest WhatsApp messages" — it handles the rest. Use Claude Chat, Claude Cowork, or Claude Code.

Everything Claude can do with your WhatsApp

The app exposes your WhatsApp as a native MCP tool inside Claude Desktop, giving Claude full messaging capability through your real personal number.

📤

Send Messages to Anyone

Tell Claude to send a message to any contact by name or number. Claude will confirm the recipient before sending if Safe Mode is on. Even contacts not saved in your phone can be reached by number.

📥

Read WhatsApp Messages

Ask Claude what a specific person or group said, check your most recent conversations, or summarize unread messages — Claude reads your live WhatsApp inbox in real time.

read_messages
👥

Message WhatsApp Groups

Send broadcasts or custom messages to any of your WhatsApp groups. Claude can craft the message content, research the topic, and post it — all in one prompt.

AI-Powered Lead Generation

Provide a target audience and location — Claude finds businesses, extracts their WhatsApp numbers, crafts personalized outreach messages, and sends them. All automated from a single instruction.

Full Automation Workflows

Combine Claude's research, writing, and reasoning with WhatsApp delivery. Research a topic → write a description → send to a group. Find contacts → craft proposals → send outreach. Build any multi-step workflow using natural language, and Claude executes it end-to-end through your WhatsApp — no code required.

Safe Mode — Your Control

Enable Safe Mode and Claude will ask your permission before every message is sent. Disable it for fully automated operation — perfect for hands-off bulk workflows.

Context-Aware Messaging

Claude learns your communication style from your chat history and adapts its messages accordingly. It picks up your tone, language, and even cultural nuances automatically.

Works in Claude Chat, Cowork & Code

The WhatsApp integration is available across all Claude Desktop interfaces — the standard chat, Claude Cowork for desktop automation, and Claude Code for developer workflows.

Voice Mode Compatible

Use Claude's voice mode to dictate your instructions hands-free. "Find 10 dental clinics in NYC and send them a proposal via WhatsApp" — Claude does it all while you speak.

🔌

MCP Server Architecture

Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the same standard Anthropic uses for official integrations. The app runs a local MCP server that Claude Desktop connects to on startup.

  • Available on Windows & Mac

💬 WhatsApp Account REQUIRED

  • Active personal WhatsApp account

Step-by-step setup

Full setup takes less than 5 minutes. Follow these steps in order for a smooth experience.

1

Install Claude Desktop

Download the Claude Desktop application from claude.ai/download and sign in with a Claude Pro or Max account. The MCP tools feature is only available on paid plans.

claude.ai/download → Install → Sign In with Pro/Max account
2

Download & Run the Installer

Download the correct version for your operating system from this page. On Windows, you'll get a Hello WhatsApp-Setup-x.x.x.exe installer file. Run it to install the app on your PC — no store required, just a standard Windows installer.

3

Run the Installer

On Windows, click "More Info" → "Run Anyway" if Windows SmartScreen appears (the app is safe — it's simply unsigned). Follow the installer wizard: Next → Install → Finish → Run.

More Info → Run Anyway → Next → Install → Finish → Run Hello WhatsApp
4

Scan QR Code with Your Phone

The app will display a QR code. On your phone: open WhatsApp → tap the three dots → Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device → scan the QR code. You'll see "Connected" when successful.

5

Install into Claude Desktop

In the Hello WhatsApp app, click the green "Install into Claude Desktop" button. This automatically edits your Claude Desktop config file to register the MCP server — no manual JSON editing required.

Config: C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
6

Restart Claude Desktop

Fully quit Claude Desktop (including from the system tray) and reopen it. Go to Settings → Developer — you should see "Hello WhatsApp" listed as a connected MCP server with a green indicator.

7

Start Using WhatsApp Through Claude

Open Claude Desktop and type: "Please check if WhatsApp is connected" — Claude will confirm and list recent chats. You're now ready to send messages, read conversations, and build automations.

"Send a message to [contact name] saying [your message]"

Your data, your device, your control

We built this with privacy at the core. Your WhatsApp messages and session never leave your machine.

🔒

100% Local Processing

The MCP server runs entirely on your computer. WhatsApp session data is stored locally, just like WhatsApp Web. No message content touches our servers.

Safe Mode Permission Gate

With Safe Mode enabled, Claude must show you exactly who it's messaging and what it will say — and wait for your approval before sending anything.

🔗

Linked Device Protocol

The connection uses WhatsApp's official "Linked Devices" system — the same as WhatsApp Web. Your phone remains the primary device and can disconnect anytime.

🚫

No Data Logging

We do not collect, transmit, or store your WhatsApp messages, contacts, or conversation history. What's on your device stays on your device.

👁️

Full Transparency

Claude shows you every tool call it makes. You can see exactly what the WhatsApp MCP tool is being instructed to do before and after each action.

📵

Instant Disconnect

Closing the Hello WhatsApp app immediately disconnects Claude from your WhatsApp. Or unlink via the app button, or directly from your phone's Linked Devices settings.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with the free Claude plan?
+
No. The MCP tools feature in Claude Desktop requires a paid Claude subscription — either Claude Pro ($20/month) or Claude Max ($100/month). Hello WhatsApp itself is free, but you must have an active Claude paid plan to use it.
Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?
+
No! That's one of the biggest advantages. You use your regular personal WhatsApp account — the one on your phone. No WhatsApp Business API, no Meta approval process, no monthly API fees. Just your normal number.
Will my WhatsApp account get banned?
+
The app uses WhatsApp's official Linked Devices system — the same protocol used by WhatsApp Web. We strongly recommend using it responsibly: message people who have opted in or have an existing relationship with you. Mass-messaging strangers can violate WhatsApp's Terms of Service. Enable Safe Mode and use it for legitimate personal and business communication.
Does it work on claude.ai in the browser?
+
No. This integration is exclusively for the Claude Desktop application. The MCP tool system that enables this integration is not available in the claude.ai web browser interface.
Can Claude send photos, videos, or files through WhatsApp?
+
Not currently. The current version supports text messages only — sending and reading. Media support (images, videos, documents, audio) is on our roadmap for a future update.
Is my WhatsApp data stored on your servers?
+
Absolutely not. The MCP server runs 100% locally on your machine. Your WhatsApp session, messages, and contacts never leave your device. We have no servers that receive or log any of your WhatsApp data.
Does the Hello WhatsApp app need to stay open?
+
Yes — but you don't need to keep the window open. You can minimize it to the system tray and it will continue running in the background, keeping Claude connected to your WhatsApp. If you close the app entirely, Claude loses the WhatsApp connection.
Which Claude interfaces support this integration?
+
Claude Chat (the main desktop interface), Claude Cowork (the desktop automation tool), and Claude Code (the command-line coding agent) all support WhatsApp through this integration. Any interface running through Claude Desktop with MCP enabled will work.
What happens if I send a message to a number without WhatsApp?
+
Claude will report that the message failed to send, since the number isn't registered on WhatsApp. This is especially common with US business landlines. We recommend building a contact list of verified WhatsApp numbers for outreach campaigns to minimize errors.
