KKHS Assist as an MCP server
Give Claude, Codex, Cursor, or ChatGPT access to your WhatsApp over MCP.
You can connect your KKHS Assist WhatsApp to an external AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, Codex, and others — and then read and act on your WhatsApp from that client. Ask Claude to "summarize my unread chats," "reply to Sarah," or "catch me up on the Vendors group," and it works through your assistant.
This is the mirror image of connecting apps: there, KKHS Assist uses your other tools; here, your other tools use KKHS Assist. It works because KKHS Assist can act as an MCP server — a standard way to expose your WhatsApp as a set of tools any MCP-compatible AI can use.
Everything happens on your own WhatsApp, through your private server. No second copy of your account is created, and the same sending safeguards that apply in chat apply here too.
Connect a client
The smoothest experience is in clients that support one-click connectors (like Claude Desktop and Claude.ai):
- 1
Add the connector
In your AI client, add a new connector / MCP server and paste your KKHS Assist MCP address (from the MCP page in your dashboard).
- 2
Sign in
The client opens a KKHS Assist login in your browser. Because you are already signed in to the dashboard, there is nothing new to set up — you just see a consent screen.
- 3
Choose what it can do
Pick an access level — Read only or Read + write — then approve. That is it; the client can now use your WhatsApp.
Nothing to teach it. KKHS Assist sends usage guidance along with the connection, so your AI client already knows how to search, reply, and organize things the WhatsApp way — and it checks with you before sending anything. Just connect and ask.
Choose the right access level
| Access level | What the client can do |
|---|---|
| Read only | Search and read your chats, contacts, and groups. Cannot send or change anything. The safe default. |
| Read + write | Everything in Read only, plus sending messages, reacting, managing chats, groups, labels, and contacts. |
Start with Read only unless you specifically want the client to send messages or make changes. You can always reconnect with a higher level later, and you can revoke access at any time from the dashboard.
What you can do from your AI client
- Catch up — "Summarize everything I missed in my work groups today."
- Search — "Find the address Priya sent me last month."
- Reply (with Read + write) — "Reply to Sarah that Tuesday at 3 works."
- Organize (with Read + write) — "Label all the unanswered client chats 'follow up.'"
Power users: if you drive a coding agent like Claude Code or Cursor, you can layer the KKHS Assist skill — a compact set of workflow instructions — on top of the connection for tighter results on multi-step jobs. It is optional; the connector already carries the essentials above.
Staying in control
- Scoped to you — a connection only ever reaches your own WhatsApp; it cannot touch anyone else's.
- Sends are still gated — messages sent from an AI client go through the same per-chat permission and mode checks as everything else.
- Revoke anytime — remove a connection from the dashboard and the client immediately loses access.
