A Telegram MCP server built on Telethon that exposes 80+ tools for reading chats, managing groups and channels, and sending, editing, and searching messages, media, and contacts. It lets MCP-compatible clients like Claude and Cursor interact with Telegram accounts directly.

Use cases

  • let Claude read and analyze my Telegram chat history
  • send and edit Telegram messages from an AI assistant
  • manage Telegram groups and channels via MCP
  • search Telegram messages through an MCP client
  • download and send media files on Telegram with an agent
  • run multiple Telegram accounts behind one MCP server

When to choose

  • you use Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client and want Telegram access
  • you need programmatic Telegram chat, group, or admin operations via Telethon
  • you want multi-account Telegram management with proxy support

When to avoid

  • you need a standalone Telegram bot framework rather than an MCP server
  • you only need simple bot API messaging without user-account features
  • you cannot provide Telegram API credentials or a Python runtime
