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
