WhatsApp MCP with Cursor — Send Messages from Your IDE via Omdaa

MCP (Model Context Protocol) changed how developers use external tools. Instead of hopping between dashboards, you ask Cursor to perform WhatsApp actions through Omdaa tools inside the IDE.

Why MCP matters in 2026

Assistants stop being text-only: they can list sessions, send a test message, or verify webhook config — shortening the build/test loop.

What Omdaa MCP provides

• Session list and status.
• Text send for a chosen session.
• Webhook/config helpers as available.
• Same production REST backbone.

Install

1. Create an API key.
2. Add Omdaa MCP server in Cursor (see MCP page).
3. Store the key in secrets/env — never in chat history dumps.
4. Restart Cursor and ask: “List connected sessions”.

Daily workflows

• Morning health check for disconnected sessions.
• Post-deploy smoke message to a test number.
• Quick webhook verification before a campaign.
