Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire mobile communication strategy with the WhatsApp Business Platform, the world's most popular messaging tool. By connecting WhatsApp to your agent, you transform enterprise messaging into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly send pre-approved templates, audit your business profile, and manage message templates without you ever touching a complex Meta dashboard. Whether you are providing customer support or running a global notification system, your agent acts as a real-time communication manager, ensuring your brand is always reachable and responsive.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Phone Number ID and WABA ID?
Log in to your Meta App Dashboard, select your app, and navigate to WhatsApp > Getting Started. You will find both IDs and your Access Token there.
Can I send messages to any WhatsApp user?
You can send pre-approved templates at any time. However, to send free-text messages, the user must have interacted with your business in the last 24 hours.
What happens if a message template is not approved?
Unapproved templates cannot be sent via the API. You can check the status of your templates using the list_message_templates tool to verify their readiness.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
