by TZubiri - how is this different than https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys which seems more reliable?by cute_boi
- Does this require a Meta / WhatsApp business account?
If not, is this a solution using WhatsApp Web in the backend (like Baileys does)? If this is the case, how does your solution avoid getting blocked or banned? I used Baileys once in an MVP with only 7 users, and my agent got blocked really quickly after just a few days of using it. So I guess the official path is the only way to go?
by LawrenceKerr - Looked into this a while back. WhatsApp MCP servers attach as a second device to WhatsApp and pull down your message history.
Most of the ones I've seen on github do not store the messages encrypted locally.
When evaluating these tools, check to see what they store unencrypted on disk. A quick search shows that only one seems to check the boxes:
https://github.com/adelaidasofia/whatsapp-mcp
However I haven't tested it. And it does phone home, you may want to disable that before running it.
by yablak - Do I understand correctly that your service works as a registered device into my whatsapp account with full "admin" like access? This seems a bit harsh for the sensitive data that peoples wahatsapp contain? Or am I missing a usecase here where that is unproblematic? Business accounts maybe?by kreidema
- Am I correct in guessing that this is a ToS violation and could lead to getting blocked?
