Telegram MCP Server
by chigwell (Community)
Description
Send emails and manage email templates with SendGrid.
A Telegram MCP server that connects Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients directly to a Telegram user account via the Telethon library, exposing 80+ tools grouped into accounts, chats/groups, messages, contacts, media, profile/privacy, and folders/drafts. It supports multi-account setups (list accounts and route tool calls by label), full group and channel administration (create/join/leave, invites, bans, admin roles, slow mode, topics), rich messaging (send, schedule, edit, delete, forward, pin, reply, search, polls, reactions, inline button inspection and press), contact management (add/remove/block/import/export), and media handling (files, voice notes, stickers, GIFs, downloads/uploads). All tool results containing Telegram user-controlled content are sanitized before being returned as structured JSON, and a device-identity feature lets the session appear as a distinct, labeled client rather than a generic script. Authentication uses a Telegram API ID/hash from my.telegram.org plus a generated session string — no bot token required, since this operates as a full user account. A `TELEGRAM_EXPOSED_TOOLS=read-only` mode is available to restrict the MCP surface to read-only tools when write access is not needed. The project explicitly warns against installing the unrelated `telegram-mcp` package from PyPI, which is owned by a different, unaffiliated project — always install from source via `uv sync`.
