Relationship to REST
MCP uses the same connection model as the REST API:| Interface | Authentication | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| REST API | Dashboard-created API key | Your app, backend jobs, integrations, webhook management. |
| Remote MCP | OAuth | AI tools and MCP clients that need WhatsApp tools. |
MCP OAuth grants a client access to one organization connection. Pair WhatsApp from the platform dashboard before authorizing MCP.
