Go WhatsApp

Outbound WhatsApp tools through GOWA: registers GOWA's native MCP server and adds device listing, pairing, and removal. Setup can connect an existing server or explicitly install pinned GOWA v9.5.0 as a loopback-only authenticated native user service on Linux x86_64, macOS x86_64/arm64, or Windows x86_64.

Good to know before installing

Agents can send messages and mutate WhatsApp state through the linked account; session databases grant account access. The plugin does not ingest incoming messages or configure webhooks.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install go-whatsapp
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable go-whatsapp
  3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
