Claude Code can work from live Kapso state

Use MCP when Claude Code should operate WhatsApp directly. Use the CLI when it has shell access and should run terminal commands.

Check setup

Inspect authentication, project state, WhatsApp number count, customers, and next actions.

Read and send messages

Read conversations and messages, then send replies when a human approves the production action.

Configure webhooks

Create or update WhatsApp webhooks for inbound messages, delivery status, and conversation events.

Manage templates

Inspect and create WhatsApp templates through the Kapso WhatsApp MCP tools.

Onboard customers

Create customers and setup links for customer-owned WhatsApp connections.

Keep actions reviewable

Treat production sends, customer changes, and webhook changes as approval-gated operations.

Connect Claude Code to Kapso WhatsApp MCP

Use the Kapso MCP endpoint with a project API key from your Kapso dashboard.

Claude Code MCP setup

export KAPSO_API_KEY="your_project_api_key"
claude mcp add --transport http kapso https://api.kapso.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $KAPSO_API_KEY"

Kapso WhatsApp MCP endpoint: https://api.kapso.ai/mcp.

Prefer Authorization: Bearer for clients that support bearer headers.

Use X-API-Key only when a client needs custom headers.

Keep production sends behind explicit human approval.

Use Claude Code for the whole integration loop

Claude Code can combine codebase edits with Kapso project state, so the WhatsApp integration does not rely only on docs memory.

Inspect first

Read numbers, conversations, messages, templates, and webhook config before editing code.

Change the app

Use the observed Kapso state to update webhook handlers, setup flows, and support automation.

Protect secrets

Never echo API keys, webhook secrets, or customer credentials in generated output.

Let Claude Code see the WhatsApp system

Connect the MCP server, ask Claude Code to inspect project status, and keep live WhatsApp operations explicit and reviewable.
