How do I connect my Wati account?

You need your Wati API Key and API Endpoint from your Wati API dashboard. Once you provide these to Vinkius, the MCP is ready to use in your AI client.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I send images through the AI?

Yes, the MCP includes a capability specifically for sending media messages via WhatsApp.

Do I need to use the Wati dashboard to see chat history?

No, you can ask your AI agent to retrieve the message history for any contact directly.

Can I use my own custom templates?

Yes, the MCP can list your available templates and send them using the send_template_message capability.

What is the difference between a session message and a template message?

Session messages can only be sent if the user has messaged you in the last 24 hours. Template messages are pre-approved by WhatsApp and can be used to initiate a conversation at any time.

How do I see the approved templates in my account?

Use the list_message_templates query. Your agent will retrieve the complete list of pre-approved WhatsApp templates available in your Wati dashboard.

Can I retrieve the last messages from a specific customer?

Yes! Use the list_chat_history capability and provide the customer's WhatsApp number. The agent will return the message history for that specific conversation.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Automated Order Updates

Your agent sends a template message to a customer as soon as their order status changes.

Customer Support Context

The AI adds a new WhatsApp number to your contact list after a marketing interaction.

Broadcast Monitoring

Automate a task

Put Wati to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Wati works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Wati to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 13 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Wati, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Wati. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
