Best for
  • Teams using Dart for project management
  • Users who want AI assistants to directly manipulate tasks and documents
  • Users of MCP-compatible clients
  • 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 don't need Dart project management
  • Users who prefer the latest hosted server (local version deprecated)
  • 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 DART_TOKEN authentication token
  • Can read and modify tasks and documents in the user's Dart space
  • 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
  • Token leakage could lead to unauthorized data access
  • Delete operations move items to trash but may cause accidental deletions
  • Local server is deprecated and may not be maintained; features may lag behind hosted version
  • 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
