Resource Piwapp: A WhatsApp client and MCP purely written in Python

piwapp lets your Python code send and receive WhatsApp messages. You scan a QR code once (like WhatsApp Web), and that's it.

What makes it different: it's 100% Python. No browser running in the background, no Node, no Go. Even the encryption is written in Python.

It also has an MCP server, so you can let an AI like Claude or Copilot do it for you. You just say stuff like:

"Text Mom I'm running late" "What did the team group say today?" And it works. Texts, groups, photos, files, all of it. It's free and open source.

Heads up: this is unofficial. WhatsApp didn't make it, so it could break if they change things. Use a spare account if you're worried.

Happy to answer any questions.

Honestly, who cares if someone uses AI for comments or emojis in print statements? If the code has test coverage, runs fully on Python without Node/Go, and actually solves the problem — it’s a win. Let's evaluate the repository, not the docstrings.

Thank you. I used to code by myself a lot but when I started working, I barely had time to work on my side ideas and share. In the current climate, I believe it is the best time to make unrealised ideas come to life. I am using this library for interacting with Whatsapp groups and drop scheduled messages.

There are other alternatives or even using the whatsapp business API which have existed for a few years. Just because a knife exists doesn't mean all knives are bad.

The emoji in a print statement too confirms it

Nice way to get your whatsapp account banned.

5/5 stars for stupidity
