Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tgcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

      ],
      "env": {
        "TGCLOUD_CLI": "your-value",
        "TGCLOUD_CLI_ARGS": "your-value",
        "TGCLOUD_TIMEOUT_MS": "your-value",
        "TGCLOUD_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add tgcloud --env TGCLOUD_CLI=your-value --env TGCLOUD_CLI_ARGS=your-value --env TGCLOUD_TIMEOUT_MS=your-value --env TGCLOUD_TOKEN=your-value -- npx -y tgcloud-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{

    "tgcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "tgcloud": {

        "TGCLOUD_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

TGCLOUD_CLI env
Command that launches the tgcloud CLI (default npx; may be a proxy wrapper)
TGCLOUD_CLI_ARGS env
Arguments placed before the subcommand (default 'tgcloud')

TGCLOUD_TOKEN secret env
CLI access token from @BotFather (form app : ), used instead of tgcloud login

Common questions

Is tgcloud — Telegram serverless bots safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: TGCLOUD_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.3) reached the registry 23 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

tgcloud-mcp — MCP server for Telegram serverless bots

Русский · 中文 · العربية · Deutsch · Français

Unofficial project. This is a community tool (author @sdamarketing),

not affiliated with Telegram. The platform's official tool is the @tgcloud/cli

CLI. tgcloud-mcp wraps that CLI in MCP. Threat model:

SECURITY.md.

Teaches an AI assistant to manage Telegram serverless bots (core.telegram.org/bots/serverless): you say "create a bot", "deploy", "show the webhook" — the assistant runs tgcloud and you do not have to drive the terminal.

Works with any MCP client: opencode, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot), Windsurf, Zed. The same server and skill are also one Agent Plugin (agent-plugin/) for Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kiro, and VS Code.

Documentation

The docs site (docs7) and the Context7 index: context7.com/sdamarketing/tgcloud_mcp.

Section	Contents
Getting started	Overview, quickstart, installation
Usage	Tools, resources, security
Help	Troubleshooting, cookbook
Reference	SETUP, evening walkthrough

Other languages: ru, zh, ar, de, fr. Commands: tgcloud-mcp setup, tgcloud-mcp update, tgcloud-mcp links, tgcloud-mcp --help.

What it does

16 tools over the tgcloud CLI:

Area	Tools	What they do
Lifecycle	`create_project`, `init_project`, `login_bot`, `add_module`, `upgrade`	Scaffold, link a bot with the @BotFather token, new handlers, endpoints, and lib modules, move a pre-0.2.0 layout into `tgcloud/`
Sync	`status`, `diff`, `push`, `deploy`, `pull`, `fetch`, `reset`	See changes, atomic deploy, build-then-push for a Mini App, sync with the cloud
Data	`run_handler`, `migrate`	Run a handler or endpoint without deploying; migrations with `--dry-run`, `--safe`, `--yes`, `--local`
Webhook	`webhook_status`, `webhook_sync`	"The bot is silent", re-point the webhook

Plus MCP resources tgcloud://docs/* — platform reference in English (layout, import rules, sdk/db, sdk/api, sdk/fetch, CLI, limits).

Tool descriptions and the skill are English so the model follows one text. The assistant is told to answer you in your language. Human docs are English, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, German, and French.

Security

Destructive calls need confirmation. reset, push --force, applying upgrade, applying migrations, and webhook sync --drop-pending refuse to run without confirm: true. The assistant shows the change and asks first.
Tokens do not leak. The bot token goes to the CLI on stdin and is masked in every tool result.

Install

Prefer the npm package (published with OIDC trusted publishing and Sigstore provenance). curl | bash is convenient and runs a remote script: read it first (drop the | bash), or use npm.

Node.js 20+ (the platform CLI needs 18+).

npm:

npm install -g tgcloud-mcp

tgcloud-mcp setup

The wizard writes the MCP config. Say yes to the Agent Plugin and it copies agent-plugin/ to ~/.tgcloud-mcp/agent-plugin, into Cursor's local plugin folder, and into VS Code chat.pluginLocations.

One command (macOS / Linux / WSL):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdamarketing/tgcloud_mcp/main/install.sh | bash

Docker:

docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/sdamarketing/tgcloud-mcp

From source:

git clone https://github.com/sdamarketing/tgcloud_mcp.git

cd tgcloud_mcp npm install && npm test

Details: [docs/SETUP.md](docs/SETUP.md).

Connect an agent

"mcpServers": { "tgcloud": { "command": "tgcloud-mcp" } } }

Variable	Default	Purpose
`TGCLOUD_CLI`	`npx`	How to launch the CLI (a global `tgcloud` is fine)
`TGCLOUD_CLI_ARGS`	`tgcloud`	Arguments before the subcommand
`TGCLOUD_TIMEOUT_MS`	`120000`	Timeout of one CLI command

Example

You: create an echo bot in ~/bots/echo

Agent: create_project → login_bot (asks @BotFather for the token) → edits handlers/message.js → push → webhook_sync. The bot is live.

You: test it

Agent: run_handler with { chat: { id: 1 }, text: "hi" } and shows the output and logs.

After front-end edits the agent calls deploy (build, then push). A plain push uploads the build folder as it is and does not run the bundler.

Cookbook

[A serverless bot with a Mini App in one evening](docs/cookbook-srl-bot.md) — the long walkthrough is Russian; the commands are the platform's. Short overviews: docs/cookbook.en.mdx and the ru, zh, ar, de, fr siblings.

Skill

skills/tgcloud is the procedure the agent follows: layout, imports, recipes, guardrails. The same file is agent-plugin/skills/tgcloud/SKILL.md. npm run docs:check fails if the copies diverge.
