Execute messaging workflows with the Wati Alternative MCP Server

The `send_template_message` tool lets your agent send pre-approved WhatsApp template messages. Cascade figures out that you need to check for contacts first, then sends the message automatically. You just set a goal—say, 'Notify these clients about the sale.' Windsurf handles everything from finding the right recipients using `get_contacts` to triggering the final broadcast.

Manage operational chat assignments

Need to route chats? Use `assign_operator` to assign a specific operator directly to an active conversation. This is useful when a client needs immediate, dedicated attention. It means you don't have to manually hop into the UI to re-route a ticket. Your agent makes that connection and assigns it in one go.

Audit existing chat capabilities

The `get_chatbots` tool lets your AI client retrieve a complete list of chatbots already running on Wati. This is key for auditing which automation flows are active. If you're setting up new messaging logic, Windsurf can check what's currently available before writing any code.
