Terminal-driven WhatsApp alerts with Claude Code

Run quick messaging tasks from your command line without writing a single line of throwaway code. Claude Code connects to this MCP Server to trigger `send_text_message` on the fly, making it easy to send quick status updates or alerts. You can pipe terminal outputs or log files straight into your conversational prompt. The CLI agent parses the text and sends clean summaries directly to your team's WhatsApp phones.

Scripted template validation and dispatch

Managing template parameters from the command line is usually a headache. This MCP toolset lets you run `get_template_info` to check template variables right inside your shell session. Once you know the required fields, you can execute `send_template_message` with inline arguments. This setup is perfect for quickly testing how templates look before deploying them to production scripts.

Command-line interactive messaging

Deploying complex interactive elements doesn't require a GUI. Claude Code uses `send_interactive_message` to dispatch button-based options to users directly from your terminal session. You can also use `send_media_message` to push system logs as documents, or use `send_reaction` to acknowledge incoming test webhooks. It turns your terminal into a lightweight MCP messaging control center.
