Your Gallabox MCP Server for CI/CD

This server connects Gallabox directly to your shell. Now your build scripts can interact with WhatsApp. For example, a GitHub Action can use `send_whatsapp_text` to notify a channel when a deployment fails or succeeds. You just add a step to your YAML file: `claude mcp exec gallabox-mcp send_whatsapp_text -- --channelId '...' --text '...'`. It's that simple. No SDKs, no complex auth.

Pipe Gallabox Data to Other CLI Tools

The real power here is composability. Claude Code's output is clean, pipe-able text. You can run `claude mcp exec gallabox-mcp list_whatsapp_contacts` and pipe the JSON output directly to `jq` for filtering. Find all contacts with a certain tag, then loop through them in a bash script to send a templated message with `send_whatsapp_template`. You can build powerful, custom automations by combining this MCP server with the tools you already use in your terminal.

Monitor and Manage Chats from the Command Line

Get a quick pulse on your support queue without opening a browser. Use `list_active_chats` to see open conversations. You can even get the full history of a specific conversation with `list_thread_messages`. This is great for headless monitoring. Set up a cron job to periodically check chat volume or look for threads that haven't been answered. If it finds something, it can trigger an alert to your on-call system.
