MCP Telegram
tacticlaunch/mcp-telegram
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Cline, Windsurf, Goose, and any other MCP-compatible client to a real Telegram user account via MTProto—so your agent can read, search, send, moderate, and manage Telegram chats from chat or automated tool calls instead of clicking through the Telegram UI.
