The hosted MCP servers accept OAuth 2.1 with discovery (30). Scopes separate reading logs from sending traffic, and splitting MCP servers by job keeps an agent to one channel. No confirmation step before sends (15 of 20). Inbound messages are untrusted text. Webhook subscriptions can carry HMAC signatures (X-Hub-Signature), Basic or OAuth credentials or mTLS so an endpoint can verify events, as the webhooks page read on 4 November for the Infobip Calls listing says, but there is no prompt-injection guidance (0 of 15). Message logs and delivery reports by API, and the Account Management MCP lists audit logs among its tools (12 of 15). security.txt, re-read on 4 November, is valid to 2030 and points to a coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy, and the security procedures page says to email Infobip to request access to its bug bounty on Bugcrowd. ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 and SOC 2 Type 2 on the certificates page, per the 1 October check. No public advisories found (17 of 20, as the Infobip Calls listing and Perplexity's decision-model listing read a disclosure programme, a private Bugcrowd bounty and SOC 2). 30 + 15 + 0 + 12 + 17 = 74.\n- Wati (40): REST tokens carry per-endpoint read and write scopes, an expiry and revocation, and the docs forbid tokens in URLs; the MCP server's OAuth metadata lists a single `all` scope (25 of 30). Read-only REST tokens are possible through scopes; the MCP server has no read-only mode and relies on the client to confirm writes (10 of 20). Inbound WhatsApp and Instagram text and comments reach the agent, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (2 of 15). No operator request log found in the docs (3 of 15). The trust centre answered 403, security.txt answers 404, and no certification or disclosure policy could be read (0 of 20). 25 + 10 + 2 + 3 + 0 = 40.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Infobip API + MCP +30\n\n- Infobip API + MCP (82): Closed service with clear service terms (15). Privacy notice, a data retention notice, a data transfer agreement, information security terms and a sub-processor page, per the 1 October check (25 of 30). A deprecation policy, re-read on 4 November, says deprecated endpoints keep working until a sunset date, are flagged in the OpenAPI file and in Deprecation, Sunset and Link response headers, and trigger email to active users. Infobip sets the period per endpoint with no fixed minimum, and no dated messaging notice was found in the release notes read (10 of 20, as the Infobip Calls listing). The sub-processor page says where customer data is stored and accessed, lists the EU region-locked data centre separately, and sends change alerts by email, per the 1 October check (15 of 20). 15 + 25 + 10 + 15 = 65.\n- Wati (52): Closed service with clear terms from Clare.AI Limited (8 December 2025); the MCP repository is MIT (15 of 30). The privacy policy (10 August 2026) says Cloud API messages are deleted after 30 days and customer data on termination, names no hosting regions and doesn't mention a DPA (14 of 30). Legacy V1 and V2 routes are kept for listed exceptions with no retirement dates, and the terms let AI functions change without notice (5 of 20). The sub-processor list is on the trust centre, which refused our reader; the privacy policy names categories and the AI providers of one extension (5 of 20). 15 + 14 + 5 + 5 = 39.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Infobip API + MCP +18\n\n- Infobip API + MCP (66): The MCP servers split by channel, from 1 or 2 tools on the Message server to 27 on RCS, with SMS at 10, re-read in the repository on 4 November. API lists weren't checked for field selection (18 of 25). Message logs and delivery reports by API, filters not re-checked (15 of 20). An error code reference and a handling-errors guide that says which errors to retry (15 of 20). No idempotency key, but the handling-errors guide says a retried send may deliver twice and to look the message up in the logs or wait for a delivery report first (10 of 20, documented retry semantics without a key, as the Infobip Calls listing, scalekit-agentkit and deepl-api). The official Python client's last release was 6.0.0 in January 2026, the JavaScript SDK's in 2023, and each account has its own base URL (8 of 15). 18 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 8 = 66.\n- Wati (48): The MCP catalogue lists 73 WATI tools plus Astra groups, some loaded on demand through `list_skills` and `activate_skill` (10 of 25). Page and page size with filters on lists, and bounded search (17 of 20). Error handling is documented per status, but bodies can be JSON, plain text or empty, so an agent can't rely on one shape (10 of 20). No idempotency keys; tag add and remove are idempotent, and the docs say to reconcile rather than retry sends (5 of 20). No official SDK; runnable examples in five languages, and region-specific hosts add setup (6 of 15). 10 + 17 + 10 + 5 + 6 = 48.\n\n### Reliability: Infobip API + MCP +17\n\n- Infobip API + MCP (72): Statuspage at status.infobip.com with components and history (20). Its history pages, re-read on 4 November, list no incident since 6 August that stopped the messaging APIs everywhere. The largest were a Global (Europe) traffic processing degradation on 15 August (03:42 to 05:52 UTC), a Global (Europe) Customer Portal and HTTP API degradation on 26 August (11:41 to 12:56 UTC), processing issues in five regions on 25 September (12:27 to 12:57 UTC, the United States not among them), SMPP down for accounts on US infrastructure from 23:02 UTC on 19 October to 00:40 on 20 October, and a US HTTP API degradation on 28 October (17:15 to 17:42 UTC). Each names one region, a group of regions, one channel or one protocol, so this run reads them as partial and minor (20), where the 1 October check read the 10 and 15 August Europe degradations as two majors (5). The 1 October third-party incident count (IsDown) is struck, a barred status mirror. The rate-limits page gives numbers for some messaging endpoints (120 requests a minute for SMS logs, 60 for Email logs and reports), says most send endpoints have none and that each endpoint's reference lists its limits, but the references render by script and weren't read (10 of 15). The rate-limits and handling-errors pages give exponential backoff with a retry cap for 429, and say a retried send may deliver twice, Infobip has no public idempotency key, and to check message logs or delivery reports before retrying (12, safe-retry guidance without a key, as the Infobip Calls listing). No SLA found (0). The SMS and WhatsApp APIs are generally available, and the Message, Provision and Observe MCP servers are early access (10). 20 + 20 + 10 + 12 + 0 + 10 = 72.\n- Wati (55): Read with the hosted lines. status.wati.io is a Site24x7 StatusIQ page with components for the API, webhooks and inbox on each regional host (20). Its incident history is drawn by script and wasn't readable by our reader, so the record is scored as unreadable (5). Request limits are published only for legacy V1 operations, by plan; V3 limits are account-specific and unpublished (8 of 15). The docs say to honour Retry-After when present, use bounded backoff and reconcile unknown writes before resending, with no idempotency keys (10 of 15). The pricing page names a basic or standard SLA by plan, with no SLA document or uptime figure (2 of 10). The V3 API is the documented default (10). 20 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 2 + 10 = 55.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Infobip API + MCP +11\n\n- Infobip API + MCP (90): One OpenAPI 3.1 spec for the platform at api.infobip.com/platform/1/openapi, per the 1 October check, not re-read on 4 November (25). llms.txt and a no-key docs search MCP, llms.txt re-read on 4 November (10). Channel pages explain each endpoint, and the MCP README compares the messaging servers by tool count and token cost (15 of 20). Typed JSON bodies from the spec (13 of 15). Examples, an error code reference and a handling-errors guide (13 of 15). Versioned paths and dated release notes (14 of 15). 25 + 10 + 15 + 13 + 13 + 14 = 90.\n- Wati (79): No standalone spec file was found, but every reference page embeds the OpenAPI 3.0.4 contract for its operation, with the documentation version 2.6 (20 of 25). llms.txt and Markdown pages (10). Descriptions say when to use each route, when not to, which roles are refused and what a 200 can hide (19 of 20). Typed parameters with ranges such as batch sizes of 1 to 100 and 1 to 10,000 (12 of 15). Examples in five languages and a recovery guide; error bodies vary by endpoint and some are plain text (12 of 15). Versioned documentation and a public roadmap, but no changelog (6 of 15). 20 + 10 + 19 + 12 + 12 + 6 = 79.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Infobip API + MCP +8\n\n- Infobip API + MCP (70): The Jasper release notes of 14 October 2026 carry messaging items, among them RCS interactive-session traffic split in webhooks and WhatsApp country bid multipliers (30). Three dated entries in the 90 days from 6 August, the Ink release notes (9 September), Jasper (14 October) and the MCP repository's Observe server for delivery metrics and message logs (12 September) (20). Closed service with release notes and support (8 of 15). The MCP is in the official registry as com.infobip/mcp, and the official Python client 6.0.0 (22 January 2026) is current, while the JavaScript SDK's last release was in November 2023 (10 of 15). The JavaScript SDK's dependencies are stale (2 of 10). 30 + 20 + 8 + 10 + 2 = 70.\n- Wati (62): The API reference, authentication and error pages were updated on 3 November 2026 under documentation version 2.6, read as the last published API change (30). No changelog; the MCP registry entry moved to 1.1.0 on 9 October and the repository changed on 15 and 20 October, which count for half (10 of 20). Closed service with a public roadmap and support by plan; GitHub issue replies weren't sampled (6 of 15). `io.github.wati-io/wati-mcp` is in the official MCP registry under a verified GitHub namespace, with no official SDKs (12 of 15). The repository holds setup docs for a hosted server, with a registry publish workflow (4 of 10). 30 + 10 + 6 + 12 + 4 = 62.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Infobip API + MCP | Wati | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 72 | 55 | Infobip API + MCP +17 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 79 | Infobip API + MCP +11 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 66 | 48 | Infobip API + MCP +18 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 74 | 40 | Infobip API + MCP +34 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 25 | 20 | Infobip API + MCP +5 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 70 | 62 | Infobip API + MCP +8 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 82 | 52 | Infobip API + MCP +30 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **69.1 · B** | **51.1 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Infobip API + MCP | Wati |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Infobip | Clare.AI Limited (Wati) |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.infobip.com` | `https://mcp.wati.io/mcp` |\n| Transports | HTTP, Streamable HTTP, SSE (legacy) | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Paid |\n| Price for whatsapp messaging | $0.0048 per message | not published |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | Proprietary service under Clare.AI Limited's terms and conditions.

Infobip has no public idempotency key or SLA, and per-network SMS prices are only in the portal. Incidents since August each named one region, a group of regions, one channel or one protocol.\n\n**Wati.** Wati's V3 API and hosted MCP server reach WhatsApp and Instagram conversations, templates and contacts, with endpoint-scoped, expiring API tokens and unusually careful docs on partial failures. Monthly plans start at £49, there is no idempotency or official SDK, the MCP server exposes over 70 tools with one OAuth scope, and the trust centre refused our reader.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Infobip API + MCP\n\n1. Use the account's own base URL (\u003csubdomain\u003e.api.infobip.com), not a generic host\n2. Connect only the MCP server for the channel you need, the RCS server alone has 27 tools\n3. Create a key with only the scopes the agent needs and an expiry date\n4. After a timeout or 5xx on a send, look the message up in the logs or wait for its delivery report before resending\n5. On the trial, send only to the phone number or email address verified at sign-up\n6. Check the webhook subscription's HMAC signature before acting on inbound message text\n\n### Wati\n\n1. Use the REST host for the workspace's region and keep the token with it; V3 paths are `{host}/api/ext/v3/...` with no tenant ID\n2. Ask for a token with only the endpoint scopes the task needs, such as `messagetemplatev3:write` for template sends\n3. Check `success`, `error` and each recipient's errors on a 200 from template sends, and never resend a whole batch to fix a subset\n4. Call `wati_get_active_tenant` before any MCP write and confirm the workspace, recipient and content\n5.
