The short version

Its Desktop API includes an MCP server that runs on your computer at a localhost address and needs Beeper Desktop to be open, which suits Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and similar tools. ConnectChats runs in the cloud: you paste one URL into your AI app and it keeps working when your computer is off. It covers 15 chat apps, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Instagram and Slack.

Which one should you pick?

Pick ConnectChats if

  • You want your WhatsApp chats in ChatGPT, or in Claude on the web and on your phone.
  • You do not want to keep a desktop app running for your AI to reach your chats.
  • You mostly need your AI to summarize, search and draft, not a new inbox to read.

Pick Beeper if

  • You want one app to read and reply to more than 15 networks yourself.
  • Your AI work happens in Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor on a computer that stays on.
  • You want to read and reply in a dedicated messaging app rather than in your AI app.

Questions

Does Beeper have an MCP server?

Yes. As of November 2026, the Beeper Desktop API includes an MCP server that runs on your own computer and needs Beeper Desktop to be running. Beeper's docs list Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Raycast as clients. By default it cannot be reached from other devices.

Can I use Beeper with ChatGPT?

Beeper's MCP server runs on localhost, and as of November 2026 we found no official guide for connecting it to ChatGPT or to Claude on the web. ConnectChats gives you a hosted URL that both apps can add as a connector.

Who owns Beeper?

Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, acquired Beeper in 2024 and merged it with Texts, which it bought in 2023.

Can I use Beeper and ConnectChats at the same time?

Yes. ConnectChats links to WhatsApp as its own linked device, so it runs alongside Beeper. Each one uses a separate linked device slot on your WhatsApp account.
