Free MCP after your trial

A free WhatsApp MCP server for ChatGPT and Claude

Everyone starts with 7 days of everything. Connect your AI app during the trial and save a card, which is never charged, and your account continues on Free MCP: a free hosted WhatsApp MCP server for your own business number, for as long as you use it.

• 100 AI calls a month from ChatGPT, Claude or another MCP client

• Up to 200 different contacts a month

• 7 days of message history and a read-and-approve inbox

• Every send waits for your approval

• Contacts, pipeline boards, tasks, calendar and Circles

• Self Proxy and the Spun Box included, as on every plan

• For businesses only, not for personal use or for building and testing MCP software. One Free MCP account per business, card and phone number.

• At least one AI read every 7 days keeps the number connected. We warn you on day 5.

• One number, no scheduled workflows, automations or REST API. The AI sees that media or a voice note arrived, not what is in it.

What your assistant can do

Six jobs to hand to your AI today

Ask in plain words. Your AI picks the right Spun tools, and the answer comes from your real chats.

See who is waiting for you

Ask what needs a follow-up today and get the chats waiting for a reply, reminders that are due and overdue tasks in one answer.

Tools:get_follow_up_queue

Catch up on any chat

Search every conversation by meaning, find who asked about pricing last month, and read a summary of a long thread instead of scrolling it.

Tools:search_messages_and_contacts get_chat_summary

Draft replies you approve

Your AI writes the reply. When it sends, the message waits in AI Sends until a teammate approves, edits or rejects it.

Tools:draft_reply send_message

Keep contacts and the pipeline tidy

Add and update contacts, label conversations and read where each deal sits on your pipeline board.

Tools:create_contact update_labels get_pipeline_board

Turn chats into tasks and meetings

Create a task for a teammate from a promise in a chat, or book the meeting a customer asked for on the team calendar.

Tools:create_task create_calendar_event

Report on the whole day

A period report reads every message of a day across your chats and counts bookings, complaints and requests, with the messages behind each number.

Tools:get_period_report

Human approval

Your AI drafts. A person approves.

By default every AI send waits in the AI Sends queue of your Spun inbox. The approval card is built by the server from what will really happen, never from the AI's description of it.

1. 1 AI submits The assistant proposes a send with its reason, marked as unverified AI text.
2. 2 A person approves The card shows the real number, recipient and content. If the customer replied meanwhile, the approver sees it first.
3. 3 Spun sends Approval runs every check again, number state, quotas and quiet hours, then delivers the message.

Three send postures, set by your organization

• Drafts only Every AI send becomes a draft in your inbox for a person to send, edit or discard.
• Submit and approveDefault Sends wait in AI Sends until a teammate with send permission approves. Unapproved sends expire after about 24 hours.
• AutonomousManager opt-in Only an org manager can turn it on, inside Spun, with an org-wide setting plus a per-key grant. Never from the AI app, and signing in again resets it. A send the server flags still goes to the queue.

Three access levels, picked when you connect

• Read-only analyst Reads and reports. Never sends.
• Assistant, no sends Reads, drafts and organizes. Never sends.
• Assistant with sends Proposes sends, and each one waits for approval.

Intelligence

Answers prepared before you ask

Period reports count a whole day of messages, and standing questions over your chats, called digests, stay answered as new messages arrive. Your AI reads the prepared answer in one call, with links to the exact messages behind it.

Safeguards

You decide what the AI can touch

Set by an org manager inside Spun and enforced on the server, for every key and every connected app.

• Number allowlist

  Choose which of your WhatsApp numbers the AI can see at all.

• Label scoping

  Labels that block AI sends, or an include-only mode where the AI sees only chats with the labels you pick.

• Groups off

  One switch removes every group chat from the AI.

• Quiet hours

  Outside your hours, AI sends are held or denied, then checked again before release.

• Kill switch and revoke

  Turn MCP off for the whole organization, or revoke one app or key and its waiting sends at once.

• Automatic pause

  If the AI messages too many different chats in a short time, AI sending pauses to protect your number. Spun shows you why, and an administrator resumes it in one click.

• Injection screening

  Customer text is labeled untrusted before the AI reads it, and sends are screened for prompt injection and data leaks.

• Sending limits you set

  Choose the pace: messages per minute and per day, and how many different chats at once. New numbers start on Normal, and Spun keeps a ceiling on top of your plan.

• Your own internet connection

  Self Proxy runs your WhatsApp connection through your own home or office internet instead of a shared address. It is included on every plan, and it is the connection we recommend.

Honest security

What Spun blocks, and what no server can

Spun blocks unauthorized sends by design: every send passes server-side permission checks, your send posture and quotas, and everything a customer wrote is marked as untrusted before your AI reads it. What no MCP server can do is stop a tricked AI from repeating data it is allowed to read. That is why the number allowlist, label scoping and key scopes exist: give each app the least it needs, and revoke it the moment you want.
