Best for
  • Teams using Jira for project management
  • Users who want to manage tasks via natural language with AI assistants
  • Developers needing to automate common PM operations like assignment and status updates
  • 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 do not use Jira
  • Scenarios requiring complex permission management
  • Developers who need direct API access without natural language interaction
  • 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
  • Read access to Jira projects, issues, and user information
  • Create, update, and delete issues and subtasks
  • Create issue links (dependencies)
  • Requires JIRA_HOST, JIRA_API_TOKEN or PAT, and JIRA_EMAIL for basic auth
  • 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
  • If API tokens are leaked, attackers can access and modify Jira data
  • Delete operations are irreversible and may cause data loss, especially when deleting subtasks
  • Misconfiguration may lead to permission issues or API rate limits
  • Dependent on Jira API version, subject to instance limitations
  • 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
