What works

​
How it listens

Wake type: Local. Cursor runs npx zapbip@0.1.0 listen in a background terminal and keeps it running. When you write on WhatsApp, a new line appears in that terminal and wakes the chat.
  • Cursor has no scheduled option, so keep that terminal running.
When your AI asks you something, zapbip holds the question and answers “pending” at most every 50 seconds. Cursor then calls again, and keeps calling again until you answer. There is no time limit.

​
Set up from zero

  1. Message the zapbip number on WhatsApp. Send any text, for example hi. Open WhatsApp to message zapbip.
  2. Ask for a new agent. An agent is one AI you connect.
  3. Paste the line into the Cursor chat. Connect yourself to my WhatsApp with zapbip: read https://mcp.zapbip.com/i/zb_inst_<code> and follow the instructions. Cursor reads the instructions and follows them in order. Before it changes a setting, it tells you which one and waits for your yes. The link is secret, so keep it out of chats you share.
  4. Say yes. Cursor then does the rest, in this order.
  5. Add zapbip to Cursor. It asks you first and waits for your yes. Then it adds an MCP server named zapbip over HTTP at <connectionLink> in Cursor’s MCP settings.
  6. Start listening. It runs ZAPBIP_CONNECTION_URL=<connectionLink> npx zapbip@0.1.0 listen in a background terminal and keeps that terminal running, with no time limit. Whenever a new line appears there, it calls check_inbox and answers.
  7. Test it. In the chat it calls send_message with ✅ installed. Then restart the Cursor chat to use the zapbip tools.

Check it works

Ask Cursor to send ✅ installed to your WhatsApp. It should arrive in a few seconds. If nothing arrives, see Troubleshooting.
