MCP for WhatsApp
Five Business Workflows for Spun MCP
Step-by-step workflows with the prompt, the tools used, a sample result and the approval step.
What is checked: the tools, the plan tag, the access level and the approval step of each workflow are read from Spun's tool registry and pinned by a test. The sample results are illustrative: nothing was run on a customer account and nothing was sent.
Spun is a hosted MCP server on your own WhatsApp number: not a browser extension, not a customer-facing bot, no Business API, and no API key needed for ChatGPT or claude.ai.
Follow-ups: who is waiting on you
One list of chats waiting for a reply, due follow-up alarms, overdue tasks and new business signals, most overdue first.
Prompt
What should I follow up on today? Show the most overdue first, with the last message in each chat.

Translate and reply in the customer's language
Read a message in another language, translate it, and submit a reply in that language for a person to approve.
Prompt
Translate the last message from Sophie into English, then reply in French that the table is booked for 8 pm, and submit it for approval.

Daily digest of your business
A morning snapshot in counts only: conversations, messages, contacts, open and overdue tasks, due alarms, scheduled messages and the status of your number, plus the chats still waiting for a reply.
Prompt
Give me this morning's business digest, and list the chats still waiting for a reply.

About Spun
Spun (spun.com) is a shared WhatsApp inbox for teams. It connects to the WhatsApp number a business already uses through WhatsApp's linked-device (QR) mechanism, so it needs no Business API and charges no per-message fees. Plans are flat: Starter £39, Pro £79 and Max £159 per month, every feature on every plan, unlimited team members. Connecting a second WhatsApp number the business already owns is £39 per month on Starter; on a Pro or Max plan an additional Starter line is £24 per month. Spun does not provide phone numbers or verification codes. Each team member can be restricted to specific conversations or customers. Runs in any web browser; native mobile apps are in beta. Made by Spun Life LLC. Not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.
Frequently asked questions
Were these workflows run on a real business account?
No. The tools, plan tag, access level and approval step of each workflow are read from Spun's tool registry. The sample results are illustrative: nothing was run on a customer account and nothing was sent.
Which workflows work on Free MCP?
Each workflow carries a Free MCP or Paid plans tag computed from Spun's tool registry. Free MCP means every tool the workflow uses is included in Free MCP.
Can the AI send messages without me?
Not by default. A send waits in AI Sends until a person in your organization approves it, and an unapproved send expires after about 24 hours. The consent screen never grants autonomous sending; only a manager can turn it on later, and quiet hours still apply.
Do these work from ChatGPT?
Each workflow shows whether all of its tools work from ChatGPT today. ChatGPT reaches a subset of Spun's tools.
