Can Codex work with WhatsApp through Kapso?

Yes. Codex can use Kapso WhatsApp MCP or the Kapso CLI to read conversations, inspect connected numbers, manage templates, configure webhooks, send messages, and help onboard customer-owned WhatsApp accounts.

How do I connect Codex to Kapso WhatsApp MCP?

Set KAPSO_API_KEY, then add https://api.kapso.ai/mcp as a Codex MCP server with bearer-token-env-var KAPSO_API_KEY.

When should I use MCP instead of the CLI?

Use Kapso WhatsApp MCP when Codex should work through agent tools. Use the Kapso CLI when Codex is running terminal commands, scripts, or diagnostics.
