Connect Claude in three steps
Menu names move as Claude updates, so match on meaning.
1. Link WhatsApp
Open app.blueticks.co/connections, sign in and link your number by QR code or phone-number link code. Use the browser extension with WhatsApp Web open, or add a Gateway for a cloud-hosted, always-on connection.
2. Add the connector
In Claude open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector. Name it Blueticks and paste
https://api.blueticks.co/mcp.3. Sign in and approve
Click Connect, sign in to Blueticks and approve access. It uses OAuth 2.0 with S256 PKCE, so no API key is stored in Claude.
Using Claude Code? It runs the local @blueticks/mcp package with a bt_live_ API key instead. See connect WhatsApp to Claude Code.
Things to ask Claude
Each example uses tools from the server's own manifest at api.blueticks.co/mcp/info, checked 10 November 2026.
| Ask Claude | Tools used |
|---|---|
| Who is waiting on a reply from me in WhatsApp? | chats_read (list, get_latest, list_messages) |
| Find the chat where we discussed the invoice and summarise it. | chats_read (search, list_messages) |
| Schedule a follow-up to this contact for tomorrow at 9. | scheduled_messages_write (send) |
| Show my scheduled messages and cancel the one for Friday. | scheduled_messages_read (list), scheduled_messages_write (cancel) |
| Create a group with these three people. | groups (create) |
Reading and sending are separate tools. Sending goes through chats_write, scheduled_messages_write and campaigns, and works only while your WhatsApp is linked and online. Approve each call yourself and avoid "Allow always" for Blueticks. Full tool list: twelve tools on the MCP page.
How it connects to WhatsApp
Blueticks operates an unofficial WhatsApp Web automation engine: your number is linked as a device. It is not the Meta Cloud API, and Blueticks is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta. We cannot promise a number will never be restricted. If you message other people, consent and opt-out are your responsibility.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect WhatsApp to Claude?
Link your WhatsApp number in Blueticks, then in Claude open Settings, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Blueticks and paste https://api.blueticks.co/mcp. Click Connect, sign in to Blueticks and approve access.
Do I need an API key or to run a server?
Not for the Claude connector. It signs in with OAuth 2.0 (authorization code, S256 PKCE), so no API key is stored in Claude and you run no server of your own. Blueticks hosts the connector; the WhatsApp session runs in your browser (extension) or in a Gateway. Claude Code can alternatively run the @blueticks/mcp package with a bt_live_ API key.
Does Claude use my own WhatsApp number?
Yes. You link your number as a WhatsApp Web linked device by scanning a QR code or using a phone-number link code. It is not the Meta Cloud API and not an official Meta product.
What can Claude do once connected?
On a standard account Claude sees twelve tools: chats_read, chats_write, contacts, groups, scheduled_messages_read, scheduled_messages_write, audiences, campaigns, webhooks, tasks, engine and utils. That covers reading and searching chats, sending text, media or polls, scheduling and cancelling messages, and managing groups.
Can Claude send messages without asking me?
Only if it uses a write tool. Reading and sending are separate tools: sending goes through chats_write, scheduled_messages_write and campaigns, and it works only while your WhatsApp is linked and online. Approve each call yourself and avoid "Allow always" for Blueticks.
What does it cost?
There is no extra charge for the connector and it works on any plan. The free plan allows 5 requests per 6 hours, shared with the API; paid plans have no request limit. See the pricing page for current prices.
Why does Claude say no WhatsApp is connected?
If no WhatsApp is linked to your Blueticks account, or the connection is offline, requests fail with a "No WhatsApp is connected" error. Link it at app.blueticks.co/connections, keep WhatsApp Web open with the extension on, or use a Gateway for an always-on connection.
Is there a ban risk?
Blueticks connects through the WhatsApp Web linked-device model. We cannot promise that WhatsApp will never restrict a number. Consent and opt-out for anyone you message are your responsibility.
