Best for
  • UX/UI teams: Automate repetitive design tasks and maintain brand consistency
  • Developers: Generate production-ready code directly from designs
  • Teams that need a free Figma account alternative
  • 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 needing full support for Figma Variables (still in development)
  • Users needing advanced export to Tailwind CSS/SwiftUI (coming soon)
  • 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
  • Requires Node.js and Figma Desktop
  • Requires network access to run npx and connect WebSocket
  • Requires installing the Figma plugin and granting it access to the current design file
  • AI tool must be configured to connect to the MCP server
  • 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
  • Multiple agents modifying the document simultaneously may cause conflicts, though the server has a command queue, it's recommended to explicitly specify the parentId parameter
  • There may be undiscovered bugs as the project is under active development
  • Dependencies on third-party npm packages and Figma plugins; ensure sources are trusted
  • 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
