Rather than scrolling past a few hundred unread conversations, you can ask which ones actually matter, get a summary of what you missed, mark a noisy group as read, and have a reply written and sent. It signs in as you, so it sees exactly the chats you see. Getting started means requesting free credentials from Telegram's own site and confirming a login code once. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a system that lets AI apps, like Claude Desktop or Cursor, connect to external tools and data sources. It gives a clear and safe way for AI assistants to work with local services and APIs while keeping the user in control.

telegram-mcp FAQ

Is this still maintained?
Yes — the most recent update landed in May 2026, and it ships ready-made installers for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Do I need a key?
Yes, but a free one. You request an ID and hash from Telegram's own site, run a one-time sign-in command, and type in the code Telegram texts you.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code are the documented ones, plus any other assistant that can start a local MCP server.
Can I use this to clear a backlog of unread messages?
Yes — it can list only your unread chats, summarize them, mark them read, and draft answers to the ones that need one.
How hard is setup?
Fairly easy for a local tool: install it with Homebrew or run it straight through npx, sign in once, then paste a short block into your assistant's config.
Is there any risk to my Telegram account?
The authors ask you to read Telegram's terms of service first, and warn that misusing automated access can get an account suspended.
