Perplexity

Get full chat history for coding.

You're writing a script that needs to process recent user interactions. Use `get_whatsapp_chat_history` to pull the actual message logs directly into your context window. This means your generated code uses real conversation data, not fake placeholders. It makes the logic for responding accurate.

List and verify contacts.

Need a list of users to iterate over in a loop? The `list_whatsapp_contacts` tool pulls all Wati CRM entries so your agent can build code around them. Similarly, the `get_whatsapp_contact_details` function gives you specific profile fields needed for data validation within your editor.

Send API messages in generated functions.

When writing a sender function, use `send_template_message`. This tool requires the template name and target number, giving you precise parameters to include in your code logic. For dynamic messaging, structure calls using `send_session_message` to handle free-text content. The AI generates working API calls for these actions.

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.
