Monitor your 1msg.io connection status

Stop guessing if your messages are actually going out. Use `get_status` to see if your channel is connected or currently offline. This gives you instant confirmation before you start drafting important customer updates in your Claude Desktop session.

Send WhatsApp messages from Claude

Push text directly to your customers using `send_message` with just a phone number and your content. You don't need to touch the API dashboard to get a quick reply out. When you need to share files, `send_file` handles images and PDFs so your attachments arrive in the right chat immediately.

Audit your communication history

Run `list_messages` whenever you need to verify what was sent or check for recent incoming replies. It clears up any confusion about previous customer interactions. Use `list_templates` to see your pre-approved WhatsApp content, then fire them off with `send_template` to keep your messaging consistent.
