Whaller announces the availability of its MCP server, a connector based on the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP), making the collaborative platform the first French digital workplace to offer this type of native integration with artificial intelligence assistants.
A direct bridge between AI and collaboration
Thanks to Whaller’s MCP server, users can now connect their AI assistants (such as ChatGPT or Claude) or automation platforms (such as n8n) to interact with Whaller in real time: viewing messages, writing in spheres, automating tasks, and more.
The Whaller MCP server is available to users belonging to an organisation that has subscribed to the Whaller (IA)ssistant option, starting from the Business plan.
MCP: a standard that turns AI into an application agent
The Model Context Protocol is gradually establishing itself as a reference standard for connecting AI to business applications.
This is what a very simple workflow can look like.
It enables an assistant to:
- access real-time contextual data,
- trigger actions within an application,
- operate as a true application agent, rather than a simple conversational tool.
With its MCP server, Whaller does not provide generic access to its system, but rather a direct extension of its functionalities, designed to operate within the platform’s standard framework: same spaces, same rules, same permissions.
“ Whaller’s MCP will enable our clients and their users to extend their uses, invent new ones, and fully benefit from today’s digital world!” — Thomas Fauré, Founder and CEO of Whaller
A simple, understandable and controlled integration
In practical terms, Whaller’s MCP server allows AI assistants to work directly within collaborative spaces, without creating parallel tools.
Each interaction performed by an AI complies with the rules already in place:
- the same permissions, scopes and limitations as the user.
- Actions carried out are visible and integrated into the normal flow of workspaces.
The objective is clear: to facilitate innovation and interoperability.
What AI can do today with Whaller
The Whaller MCP server exposes a set of tools that AI agents can use, including:
Context and data reading:
- listing organisations and spheres,
- viewing unread messages,
- analysing activity streams,
- retrieving tasks and events.
Actions:
- publishing a message in a sphere,
- adding a reaction,
These capabilities make it possible to create assistants that are genuinely connected to the user’s Whaller spaces.
They also open the door to new scenarios: specialised assistants, business automation or intelligent management tools, without multiplying specific connectors.
Use cases already in production
At Whaller, the MCP server is already used to automate several internal use cases, including:
- the daily generation of a morning management briefing, integrating task status, agenda and priority messages;
- the production of a monitoring newsletter, automatically built from content shared in internal spheres.
These examples illustrate a simple shift: AI becomes a digital teammate, capable of helping without replacing existing tools.

Roadmap: towards business-specific AI agents
Whaller plans to progressively enrich its MCP server with:
- extended interactions with documents and files,
- advanced actions on tasks and calendars,
- AI agents dedicated to specific professions (communication, HR, project coordination, support),
