README

WhatsApp-Claude Bridge

**Chat with Claude from WhatsApp -- by text or voice call** -- with tool execution, media support, MCP integration, and conversation memory.

A self-hosted bridge that connects WhatsApp to Anthropic's Claude API via Twilio, giving you a powerful AI assistant in your pocket. Send text, images, voice messages, and video -- and receive intelligent responses, generated audio, images, and more -- all through WhatsApp. Or just **call the number and talk to Claude directly** using Twilio's ConversationRelay for real-time voice conversations.
