Notifique MCP

MCP is your IDE waiter: you ask in plain language (“send a WhatsApp”, “list failed webhooks”) and the AI calls the Notifique API for you.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a bridge between the AI on your computer and the Notifique API. Instead of crafting HTTP requests by hand, you chat and the AI uses ready-made tools. Think of a waiter: you order the dish; they take it to the kitchen (API) and bring back the response. Server: https://mcp.notifique.dev/mcp. Uses the same API Key as your app.

What is it for?

With MCP you can:

Send WhatsApp (text, buttons, list, media), SMS, email, push, RCS, voice, and Instagram Direct
Connect official WhatsApp (Cloud API) or unofficial (QR)
Query message status, instances, templates, contacts, and webhooks
Sync templates with the Meta WABA (whatsapp.sync_templates, whatsapp.push_template)
Manage instances and view metrics (metrics_overview, metrics_logs)
Notify across multiple channels in one call via POST /v1/notify

Common tools: whatsapp.send_text, whatsapp.send, whatsapp.create_instance, messages.send_template, messages.send_sms, messages.send_email. For voice, use POST /v1/voice/calls via a generic tool. Not sure which tool to use? Ask for system.help or system.capabilities.

Official WhatsApp in MCP

Think of Cloud API as Meta’s official counter: outside the 24-hour window you may only send an approved template; inside it, text, buttons, and lists are allowed.

Task	Tool	Detail
Create unofficial (QR) line	`whatsapp.create_instance`	`mode: "UNOFFICIAL"` (default)
Create official line (bring-your-own credentials)	`whatsapp.create_instance`	`mode: "OFFICIAL_BYOK"` + `metaAccessToken` + `metaPhoneNumberId` (+ `metaWabaId`)
Create official with shareable link	`whatsapp.create_instance`	`mode: "OFFICIAL"` + `generateShareableLink: true`
Embedded Signup in the browser	Dashboard / Aura	MCP cannot open Facebook login; use the dashboard, Aura, or the shareable link
Send text / buttons / list	`whatsapp.send` or `whatsapp.send_text`	Official lines: only with an open 24h window
Outside 24h	`messages.send_template`	`WHATSAPP_OFFICIAL` + `APPROVED` template
Sync Meta ↔ local	`whatsapp.sync_templates`	`mode: preview` then `apply`
Publish template to WABA	`whatsapp.push_template`	Mirrors HEADER/FOOTER/BUTTONS/carousel

Example, create an official instance in advanced mode:

{
  "name": "Cloud Support",
  "mode": "OFFICIAL_BYOK",
  "metaAccessToken": "EAAG...",
  "metaPhoneNumberId": "1234567890",
  "metaWabaId": "9876543210"
}

Example, buttons message (session, inside 24h):

{
  "to": "5511999999999",
  "type": "buttons",
  "payload": {
    "description": "How can we help?",
    "footer": "Notifique",
    "buttons": [
      { "type": "reply", "id": "sales", "displayText": "Sales" },
      { "type": "reply", "id": "support", "displayText": "Support" }
    ]
  }
}

If the API returns META_TEMPLATE_REQUIRED, the official line is outside the 24h window. Use messages.send_template, do not retry with freeform text.

When to use it?

Situation	Use MCP?
Test a send without leaving Cursor or Claude	Yes
Generate code that runs in your backend	No (use LLMs.txt + Skill)
Visual automation without code	No (use n8n)

Example phrases

“What’s the status of message X?”
“Which WhatsApp instances are active? Which ones are official?”
“Create an official WhatsApp connection with my token and phone number id”
“Send a text to +1…”
“Send a Yes/No buttons message to this number”
“Sync Meta templates on this instance”
“Show webhooks that failed today”
“Send an RCS to 5511999999999”
“Originate a voice call to +5511999887766 saying Hello”
“Send an Instagram DM to @username”

How to set up

Claude Desktop

Edit the config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Replace sk_... with your key and restart Claude.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notifique": {
      "url": "https://mcp.notifique.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "sk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Open Settings → MCP or create .cursor/mcp.json in the project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notifique": {
      "url": "https://mcp.notifique.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "sk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add notifique https://mcp.notifique.dev/mcp \
  --transport http \
  --header "X-API-Key: sk_..."

Other MCP apps

Use URL https://mcp.notifique.dev/mcp and send the key in the header:

X-API-Key: sk_...
or Authorization: Bearer sk_...

Never put your key in a public repository. Leaked? Revoke it in the dashboard and create a new one.

Test if the server is up

No API Key needed:

curl -sS https://mcp.notifique.dev/health

If you see "ok": true, the server is working.

Security and tips

Topic	Behavior
No valid key	401 response
Sensitive actions	May ask for `confirm: "YES"`
Logs	Full key is not shown
Multiple WhatsApp instances	Pass `instanceId` when sending
Retry	Use `idempotencyKey` on sends
Status of one message	Use the channel tool (e.g. `whatsapp.get_message`)

Notifique MCP (IDE + API Key) is different from workspace assistant MCP. See Automations.
