Piwapp: A WhatsApp client and MCP purely written in Python

SMRTR summary

piwapp is a pure-Python WhatsApp client that lets you send and receive messages, media, and group chats by linking your phone via QR code — no browser automation, Node.js, or Go bridge required. It implements WhatsApp's full encryption stack natively, stores history in SQLite, and ships an MCP server so AI assistants like Claude or GitHub Copilot can interact with WhatsApp using plain English commands.
