Best for
  • AI developers who want rapid prototyping in Figma
  • Teams needing to convert designs to React/Vue/Swift code
  • Designers using AI IDEs like Claude Code or Cursor
  • 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 on Figma web only (localhost not supported)
  • Distributed teams needing cloud API access
  • Scenarios with strict design confidentiality (consider running locally)
  • 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
  • Communicate with the Figma plugin via local HTTP
  • Access the file system and execute node scripts
  • May need network access to load icon libraries
  • Create, modify, and delete nodes in Figma
  • 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
  • Local HTTP service could be exploited, though it binds localhost and uses an allowlist
  • VM sandbox is not bulletproof; run in trusted environments
  • Plugin updates require manual re-linking; may be missed
  • 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
