Best for
  • Users who need natural-language access to Microsoft 365 work data
  • Users of GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code, or other MCP-compatible coding agents and IDEs
  • Organizations able to obtain Microsoft 365 tenant administrator consent
  • 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 Microsoft 365 tenant-data access
  • Users unable to obtain the required administrator consent
  • Use cases requiring stable, production-only features or APIs
  • 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
  • Access to Microsoft 365 tenant data requires consent to the required permissions on first access
  • The permissions may require a tenant administrator to grant admin consent
  • The Entra tenant ID can be selected with `--tenant-id`; the default is `common`
  • The EULA must be accepted before first use
  • 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
  • The project is in public preview, so features and APIs may change
  • The server accesses Microsoft 365 tenant data; incorrect permissions or tenant configuration may affect the data available
  • Using npx fetches the latest version, so behavior may change between runs
  • 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
