Automated Messaging Chains for LangChain

The `send_text_message` tool lets your agent send any free-form conversation text. You can build a chain where the agent first checks user input, and if necessary, sends an immediate confirmation using this method. The ReAct agent determines the exact sequence of actions needed for complex tasks. It can follow up a basic text message with interactive elements by calling `send_quick_reply_buttons` immediately after.

Rich Media and Location Sharing via MCP Server

Need to give directions? The agent calls `send_location_pin`, dropping coordinates directly into the chat. Alternatively, if you need to send documentation or photos, the `send_media_message` tool handles it using a public file URL. This means your LangChain pipeline doesn't just talk; it delivers assets, allowing complex interactions like 'Here is the document and here are the meeting coordinates.'

Template-Driven Conversation Flow in LangChain

Sometimes a free text message won't cut it. The `send_template_message` tool ensures you use Meta-approved structures to start or continue chats. This is crucial for reliable, structured communication. Your agent manages the necessary context, calling this function only when the conversation state requires an official template, keeping your WhatsApp Business account compliant and functional.

Setup guide

Set up WhatsApp Business MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes WhatsApp Business tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "whatsapp-business-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent WhatsApp Business transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
