Description

Telegram MCP Server enables Claude to access and interact with Telegram accounts, allowing for reading and sending messages through a simple interface. Developed by Alexander Tsai, it provides tools for retrieving chat lists, reading messages, marking messages as read, and sending replies while maintaining the user's conversational style. The implementation uses Telethon for Telegram API access and includes a conversation context analyzer that reads from a customizable style guide to help Claude generate responses that match the user's texting patterns. Perfect for users who want to monitor and respond to Telegram messages through Claude without switching applications.
