Telegram Archive MCP server

Let your AI search and read your archived Telegram chats for you.

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to your own Telegram Archive, the place where your saved Telegram chats live. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI questions about old conversations and it will look them up for you. It is handy if you keep a Telegram Archive and want to find things without clicking through it yourself.

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 or service. This one connects your AI to your Telegram Archive, so it can look up chats and messages there when you ask. You do not need to understand how it works inside; you just need to point it at your archive once.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your archived Telegram history, like whether a certain word ever came up. Your AI passes that request to this helper. The helper signs in to your Telegram Archive and searches or reads the messages there. Then it sends the results back, and your AI shows them to you in the chat. It only reads; it does not send messages or change anything in your archive.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Search my Telegram archive for holiday plan”, the Telegram Archive MCP server connects it to Telegram Archive, and you get back matching messages.

What it gives back to you
