Required permissions
  • May require network access for remote MCP mode

Risks and side effects
  • Prompts may contain biased or inaccurate content (community-submitted)
  • User prompts may be unfiltered; discretion advised
  • Self-hosting requires managing database and authentication, which may involve security configuration risks
  • 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
