How do I connect my WhatsApp account?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your WhatsApp Access Token and Phone Number ID. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start using the capabilities.

Can I send images and videos?

Yes. You can use the media capability to send images, videos, documents, or audio files by providing a public URL for the file.

What happens if the 24-hour window closes?

You can use the template message capability to send Meta-approved templates, which allows you to initiate or resume conversations outside that window.

Can my agent use buttons?

Yes. The quick reply capability allows your agent to send up to three interactive buttons to help users navigate choices.

Which AI clients work with this MCP?

This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I send a message to a customer who hasn't messaged me in the last 24 hours?

Yes, but you must use the send_template_message capability. WhatsApp requires Meta-approved templates to initiate contact outside the 24-hour service window. For active conversations within that window, you can use the send_text_message capability for free-form replies.

How many quick-reply buttons can I send at once?

Using the send_quick_reply_buttons capability, you can send up to 3 interactive buttons along with a message block. This is ideal for helping users choose between options like 'Confirm', 'Cancel', or 'Reschedule' with a single tap.

Can I share images or PDF documents through this server?

Absolutely. Use the send_media_message capability and provide a public URL to your asset. You can specify the type as 'image' or 'document' and even add a custom caption to the message.

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.

One connector, every AI

WhatsApp Business 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 WhatsApp Business 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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