Hey all! With all the OpenClaw craze, I thought the coolest part was the integrations, but I didn’t want to switch to API calls on Anthropic. So I reverse-engineered what they built to connect to WhatsApp and made it work with just CC. You essentially send messages to your own number and it spawns a CC session on your local/cloud environment. This helps me max out my usage when I don’t have time to sit in front of my computer. How is this different from WhatsApp MCPs? Those let Claude read and send your WhatsApp messages. On this one you just control Claude Code from WhatsApp. It’s also a single TypeScript process (npm run dev) vs the typical MCP setup that needs Go + Python + a C compiler on Windows. What it does:
- Spawns Claude Code CLI per message with --resume for conversation continuity
- Only triggers on your self-chat
- Supports /project <path> to switch codebases from your phone
- Works on a remote server too — deploy on a VPS and code from anywhere GitHub: https://github.com/dashiz91/claude-code-whatsapp Built this for myself but figured others might want it too. submitted by /u/ScoreMysterious6910
