Meta announced on Tuesday that it will launch the WhatsApp Business MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing developers to use AI coding agents such as Claude, Cursor, Codex, and ChatGPT to handle tasks like WhatsApp Business setup, message template creation, testing, and troubleshooting. This move aims to simplify the process for businesses to communicate with customers via WhatsApp, as these tasks previously required switching between multiple tools and services. The server will directly connect AI coding agents to the WhatsApp Business platform, expanding Meta's existing MCP server product line.
