Things ChatGPT can actually do with your WhatsApp chats: 12 prompts

Last verified November 2026

Through Spun, a hosted MCP server on your own WhatsApp number (not a browser extension, not a customer-facing bot, no Business API, no API key), ChatGPT can find waiting chats, search messages, summarize conversations, draft replies and request sends. Each prompt below is marked Free MCP or paid from Spun's plan data, with its limits.

Free MCP: ChatGPT on your WhatsApp number, free after your trial

Every account starts with 7 days of everything, no card. Connect ChatGPT during the trial and save a card, and your account continues on Free MCP for as long as you use it: 100 AI reads a month, up to 200 contacts a month, and every send waits for your approval. Nothing is charged unless you choose a paid plan.

See Free MCP and how Spun MCP works

These prompts work over Spun MCP once ChatGPT is connected to your number. Copy one into ChatGPT and change the names. Each prompt shows the plan it needs, whether a ChatGPT connection can run it today, what comes back, what it cannot see, and whether it only reads, writes a draft or creates a send request.

The plan tags and the ChatGPT line are generated from the same tool lists the Spun server uses, so they change when the plans change. Some contact and pipeline tools are on the Spun MCP server but not yet available on ChatGPT connections; those prompts say so and work from Claude and other MCP clients.

  • What comes back: Contacts whose name, phone, email or WhatsApp name contains what you typed, the same fields the inbox search uses.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a prompt marked paid?

Because at least one tool it needs is not part of Free MCP. On Free MCP, ChatGPT gets a short message that the tool is not available for your organization right now, and an organization manager can review the plans in Spun.

Free MCP next to the paid plans

Does every prompt use up a read?

Only reads that return your data count: 100 a month on Free MCP. Sends, edits and other actions, and status and permission checks such as the business snapshot, never count, and reads never use AI credit. On Free MCP, adding a contact and adding a note also count as calls.

Can it read voice notes?

On Free MCP, ChatGPT can see that a voice note arrived, but reading media and voice-note content through your AI is on Starter. On paid plans, voice-note transcripts are read only when the app was approved for them on the consent screen, and message search covers the transcripts Spun holds.
