Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Use WhatsApp from AI apps through the Kaption extension. OAuth 2.1 relay that cannot read messages.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Chat & email

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http extension-remote https://mcp.kaptionai.com/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "extension-remote": {
      "url": "https://mcp.kaptionai.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "extension-remote": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.kaptionai.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Common questions

Is Kaption WhatsApp (Cloud) safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 34 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

kaption-mcp-remote

Cloud MCP relay for WhatsApp — lets AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) interact with your WhatsApp conversations through the Model Context Protocol.

Setup guide: kaptionai.com/mcp — connect WhatsApp to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.

Live at: mcp.kaptionai.com (canonical) and mcp-ext.kaptionai.com (backward-compatible alias for existing connections)

The relay cannot read your messages. It forwards MCP tool calls between the AI client and the Kaption browser extension, which processes everything locally in your browser. Its source code is public (BUSL-1.1), so you can verify it yourself.

RelayMCPOAuth sessionMcpAgent — registers tools, relays JSON-RPC to RelayRoom

DeploymentChainDO"main"Append-only hash chain for deployment transparency

Request Flow

  1. AI client discovers the MCP server via /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
  2. Client registers dynamically via POST /register (RFC 7591)
  3. User authenticates with WhatsApp OTP at /authorize
  4. Client exchanges code for token at /token
  5. Client sends tool calls via SSE (/sse) or Streamable HTTP (/mcp)
  6. RelayMCP DO receives the call, routes to RelayRoom for the accountRef
  7. RelayRoom forwards JSON-RPC to the extension over WebSocket
  8. Extension executes in WhatsApp Web context, returns result
  9. Result flows back: RelayRoom → RelayMCP → AI client

MCP Tools

26 public tools are forwarded to the extension (the relay does not execute them). Reads and writes are separate tools: every read-only tool carries readOnlyHint: true, and the manage_* tools only write. The read tools for reminders, scheduled messages, chat lists and contact notes reach the extension as the matching manage_* call (TOOL_ROUTES in src/tools.ts), so every Kaption version answers them.

The square brand icon for directory listings and consent screens is served at /brand/kaption-mcp-icon.svg.

get_api_info is local-only and is deliberately excluded from the cloud surface because it returns private REST connection credentials.

Deployment Security

Every deployment is cryptographically signed and recorded in a tamper-evident transparency chain. See SECURITY.md for full details.

Pipeline
GitHub Actions (push to main)

│ ├─ 1. Run tests ├─ 2. Build worker (OpenNext + wrap) ├─ 3. SHA-256 manifest every generated code and asset file ├─ 4. Pre-deploy: Sigstore sign the manifest → Rekor log ├─ 5. Deploy to Cloudflare ├─ 6. Post-deploy: verify hash unchanged, sign attestation → Rekor └─ 7. Append to transparency chain (hash-linked)

Daily heartbeat redeploys (6am UTC) ensure the chain stays active even without code changes.

Deploys are gated — do NOT run wrangler deploy locally

All production deploys go through GitHub Actions. Multiple layers enforce this:

  1. wrangler.jsonc is gitignored; scripts/build-config.mjs renders it from wrangler.template.jsonc and refuses to run unless GITHUB_ACTIONS=true + GITHUB_RUN_ID are set (or KAPTIONAI_LOCAL_DEV=1 for dev).
  2. npm run predeploy aborts unless those same CI env vars are present.
  3. main is branch-protected: requires a reviewed PR + green test, deploy, and verify checks.
  4. CODEOWNERS routes every PR through @kshmir.

To ship a change: open a PR → review + CI green → merge to main → Actions builds, signs (Sigstore), deploys, and appends to the transparency chain. npx wrangler deploy from a laptop will fail at step 1 because there is no wrangler.jsonc to deploy.

Verify a Deployment
# 1. Check the transparency chain

curl -s https://mcp.kaptionai.com/transparency/latest | jq .

2. Verify chain integrity

curl -s https://mcp.kaptionai.com/transparency/verify | jq .

3. Verify Sigstore signature (requires cosign)

COMMIT=$(curl -s https://mcp.kaptionai.com/transparency/latest | jq -r '.event.commitSha') cosign verify-blob \ --bundle build-manifest.sigstore.json \ --certificate-identity-regexp "https://github.com/Kaption-AI/mcp-extension-remote/.*" \ --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \ build-manifest.json

Environment Variables

Vars (wrangler.jsonc)
VariableDescription
INTERNAL_API_BASE_URLBackend API base URL
BUILD_HASHSHA-256 of worker bundle (set by CI)
COMMIT_SHAGit commit SHA (set by CI)
Secrets (wrangler secret put)
SecretDescription
INTERNAL_API_KEYAPI key for rest-api OTP endpoint
DEPLOY_API_KEYAPI key for transparency chain append
JWT_SECRETShared JWT signing secret (same as rest-api, schedule, metadata workers)
PHONE_REF_SECRETHMAC secret used to derive opaque durable account references from phone numbers
EPHEMERAL_STATE_SECRETEncryption secret for short-lived login hints, verify tickets, and encrypted session phone payloads
OPENAI_APPS_CHALLENGE_TOKENExact domain-verification token issued by the OpenAI plugin portal
OPENAI_REVIEW_PASSWORD_SHA256Lowercase SHA-256 hex digest of the high-entropy reviewer password
OPENAI_REVIEW_PHONEPhone number used as the dedicated review username and to derive the synthetic account's opaque reference

The three OPENAI_* values are also configured as GitHub Actions repository secrets. Add all three together, then run the manual Test, Build & Deploy workflow. CI writes them to an ephemeral mode-0600 file and passes that file to wrangler deploy --secrets-file, so the review configuration ships in the same signed, attested Worker version as the code. The workflow fails closed if only part of the three-value set is present and deletes the temporary file immediately after deployment. Existing Worker
