Deploy and Host WhatsApp Claude Agent on Railway

WhatsApp Claude Agent bridges WhatsApp with Claude Code, letting you interact with an AI coding assistant directly through WhatsApp messages. Send questions, run commands, and manage files on your server—all from your phone. It's like having Claude in your pocket.

About Hosting WhatsApp Claude Agent

Hosting WhatsApp Claude Agent requires a persistent server to maintain the WhatsApp Web connection and handle incoming messages. The agent authenticates via QR code scan, then listens for messages from whitelisted phone numbers. When a message arrives, it's forwarded to Claude via the Anthropic API, and responses are sent back through WhatsApp. The server needs to run continuously to maintain the session. Railway's always-on containers and automatic restarts make it ideal for this use case, ensuring your agent stays connected and responsive.
