- WhatsApp users who want AI help searching their chats
- Worth noticing
- Claude Desktop setup uses a one-time phone-linking code that the page says expires after two minutes.
Field notes
For Claude Desktop, the page describes installing a single .mcpb file, then linking WhatsApp through the phone’s Linked Devices flow with a one-use code. It says ChatGPT on Mac and Codex require a Terminal command instead, and explicitly excludes chatgpt.com and the ChatGPT phone app. The page presents outgoing messages as previews that require approval before sending.
