Telegram Bot MCP server

Lets your AI send and manage Telegram messages, chats, stickers and more through your own bot.

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to Telegram through a bot you own. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI in plain words to send a message, look up a chat, or manage your bot, and it does it for you. It is handy if you run a Telegram group, a channel, or a small bot and want to save time on everyday tasks.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app. This one connects your AI to Telegram, using a bot account you create. So when you ask your AI to do something in Telegram, it passes the request to this helper, which talks to Telegram for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like send a message to my group or show me the members of this chat. The AI uses this helper, which sends the request to Telegram using your bot. Telegram does the action, for example posting the message or returning the chat details. The helper sends the result back to your AI, and your AI shows it to you in the chat. It covers a lot of Telegram features, from simple messages to stickers, polls, and forum topics.
