whatsapp-mcp-extended vs context-mode
whatsapp-mcp-extended: This is an extended MCP server for WhatsApp with 41 tools, built on previous forks. It adds reactions, message editing, polls, group management, presence, and newsletters. It uses a Go bridge, Python MCP server, and provides Docker deployment.; context-mode: Every tool call in an MCP (Model-Controller-Program) environment dumps raw data into the context window, quickly consuming space and causing the agent to lose track of ongoing tasks. Context Mode is an MCP server that tackles this by sandboxing tool outputs to significantly reduce context usage, tracking session events in SQLite for continuity, and promoting 'think in code' to minimize data processing within the LLM.
