Install the Telegram MCP Server
No one-line setup: it needs a build step, an app plugin or account details. Follow the README, then add it to your client the way the MCP setup guide shows for Claude Code, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and others.
Security notes
- Messages it reads can carry prompt-injection instructions, and it can send as you. Keep approval prompts on for sending.
- Community code: read it (or at least the tools it registers) before you give it credentials.
