Manage your team's WhatsApp numbers from Continue
Continue supports MCP servers in agent mode, set up in config.yaml or a .continue/mcpServers folder.
To connect WhatsApp to Continue, add the Whatsable MCP server at https://api.whatsable.app/mcp. Continue can then read chats, send messages, and report on every number you approve.

Ask Continue: "Give me my daily WhatsApp report: chats, failures, handoffs, and what is scheduled."
Setup
Connect Whatsable to Continue
- 1Create an API key. Continue does not run the Whatsable sign-in for this server, so use an API key. Create one in Whatsable under Settings > API keys and save it as the Continue secret WHATSABLE_API_KEY.
- 2Add Whatsable. In config.yaml, or a file in .continue/mcpServers, add an mcpServers entry with name: Whatsable, type: streamable-http, url: https://api.whatsable.app/mcp, and apiKey: ${{ secrets.WHATSABLE_API_KEY }}.
- 3Use agent mode. MCP tools work only in Continue's agent mode.
What keeps you in control
- The API key's own access and numbers apply, and it works until you revoke it in Whatsable under Settings > API keys.
- Continue uses the general remote MCP setup: streamable HTTP, not SSE, with a Whatsable API key sent as Authorization: Bearer. Menus change, so check Continue's own documentation.
- You choose Full access, Send and read, or Read only when you connect. The assistant sees only the tools that access allows.
- You choose the numbers: only the default number, all numbers, or specific numbers.
- Outside the 24-hour window, only an approved template reaches a customer. Whatsable refuses a free-form text.
- A message WhatsApp refuses comes back as Not sent, with the reason. It is never reported as sent.
- Removing the app does not revoke access. Revoke it in Whatsable under Settings > API keys > Connected AI apps.

Common questions
Create an API key. Add Whatsable. Use agent mode. The server URL is https://api.whatsable.app/mcp.
Yes. When you connect, you choose only the default number, all numbers, or specific numbers. With several, each send names its number, and Continue should ask if you have not said which one.
Yes. Each conversation's history names the teammate behind every reply, with timestamps. Continue reads those conversations and works out response times per person. It reads one conversation at a time, so on a busy account ask for a short period.
Choose Read only and it cannot send or change anything. With higher access, most AI apps ask you to approve each tool that sends or changes something. Each send is one real WhatsApp message.
