Best for
  • Users who need AI assistants to directly operate Todoist tasks.
  • Developers who want seamless task management in AI tools like Claude, Cursor, VS Code.
  • Developers who want to build custom AI workflows with reusable tools.
  • 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 need AI task management features.
  • Enterprises requiring multi-user collaboration or permission management (this server operates on a single user account).
  • Users with strict data privacy requirements (third-party service may need evaluation).
  • 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 a valid Todoist API key (TODOIST_API_KEY) or OAuth authentication.
  • Tools can read and modify user's Todoist account data, including tasks, projects, and labels.
  • 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
  • AI agents may accidentally delete or modify tasks; it is recommended to use a test account or temporary project.
  • Leaked API keys or OAuth tokens could lead to unauthorized account access.
  • As it relies on external services, there is potential for downtime or latency.
  • 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
