### Description (declared)

# Telegram MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Telegram.

With this you can search your personal Telegram messages, search your contacts, and send messages to either individuals or groups.

![Telegram MCP example usage](example-use-2.png)

It connects to your **personal Telegram account** directly via the Telegram API (using the [Telethon](https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon) library). All your messages are stored locally in a SQLite database and only sent to an LLM (such as Claude) when the agent accesses them through tools (which you control).

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.6+
- Anthropic Claude Desktop app (or Cursor)

### Steps

1. **Clone this repository**

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/Muhammad18557/telegram-mcp.git
   cd telegram-mcp
   ```
   Create a Python virtual environment and activate it:
   ```bash
   python3 -m venv myenv
   source myenv/bin/activate
   ```
   Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

   This is the environment that can be used both for running the **Telegram bridge** and the **MCP server**.

2. **Get your Telegram API credentials**

   - Go to https://my.telegram.org/auth
   - Log in and go to "API development tools"
   - Create a new application
   - Note your API ID and API hash

3. **Run the Telegram bridge**

   Navigate to the telegram-bridge directory:

   ```bash
   cd telegram-bridge
   ```

   Set up your API credentials as environment variables either by exporting them:

   ```bash
   export TELEGRAM_API_ID=your_api_id
   export TELEGRAM_API_HASH=your_api_hash
   ```

   Or by creating a `.env` file based on the provided `.env.example`:

   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   nano .env  # or use your preferred text editor
   ```

   Then update the values in the `.env` file:
   ```
   TELEGRAM_API_ID=your_api_id
   TELEGRAM_API_HASH=your_api_hash
   ```

   Run the Python application:

   ```bash
   python main.py
   ```

   The fi…
