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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http telegram https://telegram.regiq.in/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Common questions

Is Telegram MCP safe?

It passed 0 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Built by Shreyas · Shipped by Globalion

Bidirectional Telegram ⇆ agent bridge. No LLM in our stack.

Your agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, a custom script) is the brain. Our platform is the pipe: we take messages you send on Telegram, store them, and hand them to your agent when it polls. When your agent has something to say back, it pushes through us to your Telegram.

Bring your own agent. Any MCP client works.
No inference in the middle. We don't call an LLM. No vendor lock-in.
Bidirectional. get_new_messages pulls inbound, send_telegram_message pushes outbound.
Platform slash-commands. /help, /clear, /recent, /window, /usage all work even if your agent is offline.

Hosted at [telegram.regiq.in](https://telegram.regiq.in) or self-host with the Docker Compose below.

Use it (hosted)

Visit https://telegram.regiq.in, sign in with Google.
DM @BotFather → /newbot. Paste the token in your dashboard.
On the dashboard: Generate MCP API key, copy it.
Add to Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json (or Cursor / any MCP client):

json { "mcpServers": { "telegram": { "url": "https://telegram.regiq.in/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE" } } } }

Send /start to your bot on Telegram.

Now your agent can call get_new_messages to see what you sent it, and send_telegram_message to reply.

Tools

Tool	Direction	Notes
`get_new_messages()`	user → agent	Returns inbound messages since the last pull. Read-once.
`send_telegram_message(text)`	agent → user	Delivers text to the user's Telegram bot.
`list_recent_messages(max=20)`	read	Last N stored messages, both directions. No cursor advance.
`clear_history()`	action	Wipes stored history for the user.

Slash commands (platform-handled)

Handled by the platform directly — your agent isn't involved. So /help works even when nothing is polling.

Command	Effect
`/start`	Registers this Telegram chat with your account.
`/help`	Lists commands.
`/recent [N]`	Shows the last N stored messages.
`/clear`	Wipes history.
`/window N`	Sets the history window (default 20).
`/usage`	Stored message count.

Self-host

You'll need:

Docker + Compose
A Google OAuth client — Cloud Console. Scopes: openid, email, profile. Redirect: /api/auth/callback/google
A public HTTPS domain for Telegram webhooks (Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok http 3012 locally)

No LLM key required. Your agent brings its own model.

git clone https://github.com/globalion/telegram-mcp

cd telegram-mcp cp .env.example .env

fill NEXTAUTH_SECRET, GOOGLE_*, PUBLIC_BASE_URL

docker compose up -d

open http://localhost:3012

Per-user webhook URL segment is a random secret so a leaked bot token can't be pointed at someone else's account. Google sign-in is identity + ban anchor only — per-message identity comes from the MCP API key + chatId.
