Chat-Man Offers a Free WhatsApp MCP Server and Web UI for AI Agents

Summary

Fabian introduces Chat-Man, a free WhatsApp MCP server and web UI built to give AI agents access to WhatsApp without integrating a separate WhatsApp library into every project. Through the MCP interface, agents can read, search, and extract information from messages, create CRM records, summarize conversations or groups, find participants and other WhatsApp data, send messages, and manage group memberships. Chat-Man can also deliver webhooks for incoming messages in starred conversations. The web UI is intended for non-technical users and supports editing group details, viewing who joined or left, identifying the most active members, exporting group members, matching them with a CRM CSV, bulk messaging or removing members, and creating invite links. Individual contacts can receive direct messages from the interface. The author says he built the tool for several projects, including hermo.ai and florahaus.co.uk, to avoid paying for a separate WhatsApp integration for each project. He reminds users that WhatsApp data workflows must comply with applicable data-protection regulations.
