Periskope TypeScript SDK and WhatsApp MCP | Launch Week 9, Day 5

Hi there,

We’ve made it to Day 5 of Launch Week 9 — and we’re wrapping up with two powerful drops for all the builders and AI enthusiasts in our community. 🚀

Let’s dive in.


1️⃣ The Periskope TypeScript SDK is Live! 🧑‍💻

If you’re building custom workflows, internal tools, or integrations on top of Periskope, this one’s for you.

With our new TypeScript SDK, you can now:

  • Build bots

  • Manage groups and members

  • Create and update tasks

  • Automate your own workflows


All while exposing our RESTful APIs with complete type-safety, semantically named functions, and straightforward JSON responses.

2️⃣ WhatsApp MCP (Model Context Protocol) is Now Supported 🤖

This one’s for the future-facing folks building with AI agents.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a framework that allows LLMs like Claude, ChatGPT, Windsurf, or Cursor to connect to external tools—like Periskope.

With WhatsApp MCP on Periskope, your AI client can now:

  • Read and summarize WhatsApp messages across chats

  • Send replies on your behalf

  • Manage groups: add members, change names, etc.

  • Create tasks or trigger actions in your workflows

🟢 And the best part? It works with regular WhatsApp numbers—no Business API required.

🛠️ Setup takes just 2 minutes. Zero code needed.


Why This Matters

These two updates open up a whole new world:

  • Developers can build on top of Periskope faster and more flexibly

  • AI agents can now act on WhatsApp—just like a human teammate would

  • No need to wait for official APIs or clunky tools

Whether you're building internal dashboards, auto-responders, or full-blown AI copilots for your team—Periskope is now your playground.


We’re incredibly excited about what you’ll build next. And that’s a wrap on Launch Week 9 🎉
Got questions or ideas? We’re always listening.

See you soon! 👋
