Best for
  • Users who need to verify this server instance's manifest state
  • Developers who want to integrate Telegram into MCP clients like Claude
  • Automation scenarios that need to manage multiple Telegram accounts
  • Building custom Telegram bots or workflows
  • Scenarios that require secure file operation path restrictions
Not for
  • Users who need confirmed MCP tool capabilities
  • Users who need installation, authentication, or transport instructions
  • Use cases requiring official Bot API features (this server uses a user client)
  • Non-technical users who want a fully managed solution
  • Multiple processes using the same session without lock management
Required permissions
  • The source material does not specify required permissions.
  • Requires Telegram API ID and API Hash
  • Requires the user's Telegram session string (equivalent to account access)
  • Can send messages, media, contacts, and settings to any allowed chat
  • Can create or modify groups, channels, and chat settings
  • Can access and operate on the user's media files and contacts
Risks and side effects
  • Because no tools or operation permissions are documented, data-access, write, and execution risks cannot be assessed.
  • Repository-wide Netdata capabilities must not be attributed to this specific server.
  • Session string leakage could lead to account compromise
  • Sending messages may raise privacy or security concerns
  • Prompt injection: Telegram content may be maliciously crafted, so precautions are needed
  • Risk of using unofficial PyPI package name; avoid pip install telegram-mcp
  • Concurrent clients using the same session may cause AuthKeyDuplicatedError
