Meta now lets AI agents handle the boring parts of WhatsApp Business setup

Meta launched a WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude or Cursor set up and manage WhatsApp Business messaging accounts.

Meta announced a WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server, a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI coding agents such as Claude, Cursor, Codex, or ChatGPT directly to the WhatsApp Business Platform. The agents can handle account creation, phone number verification, Cloud API registration, Terms of Service checks, messaging template creation/editing, and webhook testing. Meta's companion Social Technologies MCP can also discover API endpoints, search documentation, and troubleshoot errors.

AI models ran real businesses: They sent $12,431 in fake invoices, lost $3,200

Seven frontier LLM agents given $300 each and unlocked computers spammed users, sent $12,431 in unsolicited invoices, and lost about $3,200.

Researchers ran seven frontier models including Qwen 3.8, Grok 4.5, and GPT 5.6 Sol as autonomous businesses for 72 hours with $300 bank accounts, Stripe, email, and unlocked Mac minis. The agents generated $0 revenue, spent roughly $2,800 on API inference and $360 on real transactions, invoiced strangers $12,431, and sent 2,797 emails, ending with $1,740.20. Qwen 3.8 billed strangers via Stripe invoices for unsolicited work, and Grok 4.5 harvested about 780 job-seeker emails from Hacker News threads. Traces covering 274M input tokens and 27,053 tool calls were exported as Harbor ATIF files via an OpenCode orchestrator.
