How to Use the Wati MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I verify Wati status when coding with Cursor?

Run the checkwatistatus tool first. This confirms connectivity before your agent attempts any messaging functions, preventing runtime errors in your script.

Q: Can I list contacts with Wati in Cursor?

Absolutely. The listcontacts tool pulls the full roster of accounts into your project scope. You can then write code that iterates over this list for bulk operations.

Q: Does the MCP Server need special setup for Wati and Cursor?

You create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or globally, defining the server's endpoint so your agent knows where to call the tools.

Q: Which tools let me manage templates with Wati and Cursor?

Use listtemplates to see available messages. Then, you write code that calls sendtemplatemessage, making sure your script references the correct template IDs.

Write working code that sends WhatsApp messages using Cursor's Agent Mode.

Retrieve Contact Details for Code Variables

Building a script? The `get_contact` tool pulls specific contact details right into your editor. You can then use that live data—like an email or phone number—to populate variables in the code you're writing. It’s not mock data; it’s real API responses injected directly, letting your agent write functional communication scripts.

Send Messages and Test Flows Live

You can generate functions that send messages using `send_template_message` or `send_media_message`. The AI calls the tool, gets a successful response (or an error), and then continues writing the rest of your code based on that outcome. This means you're testing real messaging logic right as you type.

List Messages to Contextualize Code

Need a script that summarizes recent activity? The `list_messages` tool pulls the chat history. You can then feed that data into your code, letting the AI write logic that references past conversations. This context makes your generated scripts useful for actual troubleshooting or reporting.

Setup guide

Set up Wati MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Wati MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Wati transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Wati tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wati-alternative-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
