Meta lets AI agents automate WhatsApp Business setup

Meta now allows AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT to set up and manage WhatsApp Business messaging via a new WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server. The Model Context Protocol server connects AI coding agents directly to the WhatsApp Business Platform, eliminating the need for developers to juggle multiple tools. The AI agent handles tasks like creating business accounts, verifying phone numbers, registering for Cloud API access, and checking Terms of Service. Businesses can also use it to create and edit messaging templates, test messages and webhooks, and monitor potential failures in payment methods and business verification.
