2026-08-16Environment variable descriptions (raw): – → BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=Browser executable. Chrome and Edge are auto-detected in their standard install locations; set this only to use a specific browser. A real Chrome/Edge is required for sending videos and GIFs. · FFMPEG_PATH=Path to an ffmpeg binary (only needed to override the ffmpeg installed automatically via the ffmpeg-static npm package) · HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS=Connection health check interval in milliseconds (<=0 disables) · LOG_LEVEL=Log level for the log file (logs/mcp-whatsapp.log) · LOG_STDERR_LEVEL=Log level for stderr (visible in most MCP client logs) · MCP_HTTP_HOST=Bind address for the HTTP endpoint (do not expose publicly; the endpoint controls your personal WhatsApp account) · MCP_HTTP_PORT=When set, additionally exposes the MCP endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:<port>/mcp (Streamable HTTP) from the same process · MCP_OAUTH=Enable OAuth for the HTTP endpoint: /mcp requires a bearer token and clients authenticate via a browser page showing the WhatsApp QR code / pairing form · TOOL_READY_TIMEOUT_MS=How long tool calls wait for the WhatsApp client to become ready before erroring · WA_WEB_VERSION=Pin the WhatsApp Web version. Only set this if a WhatsApp-side update breaks the client. · WHATSAPP_HEADLESS=Set to false to show the browser window instead of running headless (debugging aid) · WHATSAPP_PAIRING_PHONE_NUMBER=Phone number pairing: when set (international, symbol-free format, e.g. 4915112345678), an 8-character pairing code is logged to stderr on startup instead of relying on the QR code · WHATSAPP_SESSION_DIR=Where the WhatsApp session (browser profile) is stored (default: <working directory>/whatsapp-sessions)
