Best for
  • Developers who need quick access to technical documentation and API guides
  • Product managers searching for requirements, specs, and project updates
  • HR teams accessing policy documents and employee resources quickly
  • Support teams finding troubleshooting guides and knowledge base articles
  • Anyone who wants to interact with Confluence using natural language
  • 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 Confluence Server or Data Center (on-premise), as this tool supports only Confluence Cloud.
  • Legacy users expecting specific domain tools (like conf_ls_spaces), but v3.0 migrated to generic HTTP method tools.
  • 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 an Atlassian account with access to Confluence and the spaces you want to query.
  • Requires an API token (permissions granted automatically upon creation).
  • The server uses your own credentials and runs locally.
  • 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 risk: If your API token is compromised, others may access your Confluence data. Store it securely.
  • Data access scope: AI assistants can read and modify all content you have permission to access, including create, update, delete.
  • Large responses can lead to high token costs: always use jq filtering and limit parameters to avoid unexpected costs.
  • Response truncation: Responses exceeding ~40,000 characters are truncated, and the full raw data is saved to a temporary file.
  • 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
