MCP tools reference

The SendFromChat MCP server exposes these tools to any connected assistant. You don't call them yourself — you ask in plain language and the assistant picks the tools — but knowing what exists helps you ask for the right things. Server name: sendfromchat. Transport: streamable HTTP. URL: https://sendfromchat.com/api/mcp (sign in when you connect).

Every tool is labelled read-only, write or destructive, so your assistant can run lookups without asking and confirm before anything that removes or switches something off.

Setup

Tool	What it does
get_setup_status	The setup checklist — what's done and the exact next step. Assistants call this first. Includes Meta's health check for each number — what's blocking or limiting sending, with the fix.
connect_whatsapp_account	Connects a number from your own Meta app with an access token. Most people use Continue with Facebook in the dashboard instead — one click, nothing to copy.
get_webhook_setup	For numbers on your own Meta app: the callback URL and verify token, and whether events are arriving.
list_whatsapp_accounts	Connected numbers and their IDs.
remove_whatsapp_number	Takes a number out of the workspace, freeing its place on your plan. Nothing is deleted; reconnecting brings it back.
reconnect_whatsapp_number	Brings back a removed number with its templates and chats — no Facebook sign-in. Lists removed numbers when called without one.
set_number_warmup	Turns new-number warm-up on or off.
get_business_profile	What people see when they open your business in WhatsApp — name, photo, category, description, links.
update_business_profile	Changes the photo (from a link), category, about line, description, email, websites or address.

Templates

Tool	What it does
check_template	Validates a draft against Meta's rules without submitting.
search_template_library	Searches Meta's ready-made templates — approved without review when the wording stays Meta's. Checked before drafting a new one.
add_library_template	Adds a library template to a number, with your link or phone number for its buttons.
create_template	Validates and submits a new template for Meta's approval. Used only when no existing approved template fits.
list_templates	Templates with status and category.
get_template_status	Refreshes approval status from Meta (and the rejection reason).
sync_templates	Imports every template on your WhatsApp account, including ones made in WhatsApp Manager.

Contacts

Tool	What it does
preview_contacts	Parses pasted CSV or an attached Excel file and reports what would import — nothing is saved.
upload_contacts	Imports the file into a named list.
list_segments	Contact lists with counts.
search_contacts	Finds contacts by name or number, optionally within a list.
add_contact	Adds one person, with lists and extra fields. Needs the user's confirmation that they agreed to be messaged.
update_contact	Edits a name or fields, or moves someone between lists.
delete_contact	Removes someone completely — optionally with their chat history, for erasure requests.

Sending

Tool	What it does
check_recipient	Whether someone is inside the 24-hour window, opted out, which approved templates exist, and a recommendation. Called before any send.
send_message	One message to one number — free-form text or a template. Starts a new chat, too; choose the sending number with whatsappAccountId.
plan_campaign	Previews a bulk send: rendered messages, missing values, allowance left, today's pace.
create_campaign	Creates a bulk send (template + list).
send_campaign	Queues it now or at a scheduled time.
get_campaign_status	Progress: queued, sent, delivered, read, failed.
list_bulk_send_recipients	Who a bulk send reached — read, delivered, not read yet, or couldn't send (with the reason).
save_bulk_send_group_as_list	Saves a group (e.g. didn't read it) as a contact list for a follow-up.
retry_failed_sends	Re-queues the messages that couldn't be sent; people who replied STOP stay out.

Inbox

Tool	What it does
list_conversations	Conversations, unread counts, window and opt-out status. Filter to chats assigned to you, a teammate, or nobody.
get_conversation	Messages in one conversation, with the number each went through, which of your numbers can reply, who it's assigned to and the team's private notes (marks it read).
reply_to_conversation	Replies — text inside the window, a template outside it — from any connected number.
assign_conversation	Assigns a chat to you or a teammate, or unassigns it.
add_conversation_note	Leaves a private note only the team sees.

Team

Tool	What it does
list_team	People, roles, pending invites and seats on your plan.
invite_teammate	Creates an invite link for an email (owners only).
remove_teammate	Takes someone out of the workspace (owners only).
set_teammate_role	Makes someone an owner or a member (owners only).
set_teammate_access	Sets what a member can see and do: a preset (inbox only, support, marketing, admin) or areas (owners only).
set_teammate_numbers	Limits a member to certain numbers; new chats on them are handed out in turn (owners only).
get_my_alerts	Your WhatsApp alert phone and events.
update_my_alerts	Sets your alert phone and events, and can send a test alert.

Metrics

Tool	What it does
get_metrics	Sent, delivered, read and failed (with reasons), replies and reply times, per-template and per-bulk-send results, number limits and an estimate of Meta's charges — for 7, 30 or 90 days.

delete_sequence	Deletes a sequence.

Billing

Tool	What it does
get_billing_status	Plan or trial status, days left, messages you started and how many are left, numbers and seats allowed, why sending is paused (if it is), and where to add a card for Meta's own charges.
get_checkout_link	A secure checkout link to subscribe or upgrade. You pay on the payment provider's page, never in chat; trial days carry over.
get_billing_portal_link	Change plan, update your card, download invoices or cancel.

App integrations

For when you're building your own app and want it to send or receive WhatsApp messages through the REST API.

Tool	What it does
get_api_integration	The API's rules, your approved templates with their variables, and working send and webhook code for Node, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go or curl.
provision_api_key	Creates a test or live key and saves it straight into .env.local or your host (Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Fly.io, Heroku, Cloudflare Workers, GitHub Actions) — the key never appears in the chat. Live keys only after you confirm.
list_api_keys	Your keys — name, live or test, last characters, last used. Never the keys themselves.
revoke_api_key	Revokes a key; apps using it stop immediately.
create_webhook_endpoint	Sends events to your app (incoming messages, delivery status, opt-outs) and saves the signing secret the same way as keys.
list_webhook_endpoints	Your endpoints and the latest delivery attempts, for debugging.
remove_webhook_endpoint	Stops delivering to an endpoint.

Conventions

• Phone numbers are E.164: +14155550132.
• Success from a send means Meta accepted it, not that it was delivered.
• Errors come back as plain sentences explaining what to fix.
• Customers' messages are marked as third-party content: assistants read and answer them, but don't follow instructions inside them.
• Every write is scoped to your workspace; IDs from another workspace are rejected.
• Each tool belongs to an area; a member's assistant can only use the areas an owner gave them (the inbox always). Team tools are owner-only. An assistant connected with an API key acts as an owner.
