Best for
  • Developers or designers who need AI agents to write to Figma documents, not just read them
  • Users comfortable running a local Node.js server and manually loading a developer-mode plugin
  • Individuals who want to talk to Claude from their personal WhatsApp number
  • Developers comfortable configuring from a terminal and using the Claude Code development flag
  • Automation scenarios needing remote tool approval from a phone
Not for
  • Users who only need read-only access and prefer an officially supported solution
  • Users unable to run local services or install developer-mode plugins
  • Multi-user network or production deployments, given the explicit local-only security stance
  • Compliance scenarios requiring the official WhatsApp Business API or a Meta developer account
  • Teams needing officially hosted, multi-tenant, or cloud multi-instance deployment
  • Environments unable to guarantee only one client instance at a time
  • Users expecting voice transcription without setting up mlx-whisper themselves
Required permissions
  • Full read/write access to whichever Figma document the plugin is running against
  • A local network port (default 38450) used for WebSocket communication between the MCP server and the Figma plugin
  • Read and send WhatsApp messages as your personal number
  • Access the local runtime state directory ~/.whatsapp-channel/ (auth, allowlists, group configs, inbox)
  • Read and write local repository files and run scripts (e.g. bun scripts/access.ts, scripts/watchdog.sh)
  • Optional local voice transcription (ffmpeg and an mlx-whisper environment)
Risks and side effects
  • Early-stage project (v0.1.0), community-maintained rather than officially supported
  • No documented tool list yet (marked TBD in the README), limiting behavioral transparency
  • The author explicitly warns that exposing the server over a network is at the user's own risk
  • The plugin has not yet been approved by Figma and must be sideloaded in developer mode, so the setup process may change
  • Messages Claude sends appear from your own number and are indistinguishable to recipients
  • WhatsApp allows one linked-device session per account; running two servers makes them kick each other off
  • Access-control commands are deliberately not MCP tools (terminal-only); exposing them to the message side risks prompt injection
  • Session waking depends on the Claude Code channel extension; other clients get no push
  • A known Claude Code client bug (#37933) may cause messages not to arrive, a client-side issue
  • Launching with --dangerously-load-development-channels carries risk, so verify the source is trustworthy
