The Problem

AI is everywhere now. Teams are wiring them into Slack, email, CRMs, databases. But WhatsApp, where most of your conversations are, stays awkward to connect.

That's the gap Volt MCP closes.

What It Is

Volt MCP is a developer API that exposes 9 tools:

  • send-message — Send WhatsApp messages to phone numbers or chats
  • search-contact — Search WhatsApp contacts, groups, and recent chats by name or phone number
  • list-chats — List WhatsApp chats (individual and group), with optional filtering
  • get-chat-messages — Read messages from a WhatsApp chat with optional filtering and date ranges
  • create-group — Create a new WhatsApp group with specified participants
  • add-participants-to-group — Add participants to an existing WhatsApp group
  • remove-participants-from-group — Remove participants from a WhatsApp group
  • promote-participants-to-admins — Promote participants to admins in a WhatsApp group
  • demote-participants-from-admins — Demote participants from admin status in a WhatsApp group

Authentication is API key-based.

What You Can Build

A few things it unlocks:

  • Recurring scheduled messages
  • Check dormant leads and draft follow ups
  • Broadcast workflows triggered from your own backend
  • Create groups with every new client
  • Read all groups and bring a sentiment score for customers
  • At the end of the day, summarize all the conversations you had
  • On Monday, surface the messages that were left hanging from the previous week.
