WhatsApp Business MCP Integration for LangGraph
Connect WhatsApp Business to LangGraph through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect WhatsApp Business to LangGraph
Run KosmoKrator integration calls from LangGraph nodes while preserving local credentials and permissions.
Use a graph node that calls the KosmoKrator CLI for deterministic steps or an MCP client for dynamic tool selection. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so LangGraph can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
