README

telegram-business-mcp

**A self-hosted remote Telegram connector for ChatGPT.com, Claude.ai and other MCP clients — built on the official Telegram Business API, with no MTProto user session.**

Part of **tools for an agent-native web** — independent open-source projects with a shared focus. Related tools: [CanMCP](https://github.com/OlegNickeshin/canmcp) checks remote MCP compatibility; [PeopleMCP](https://github.com/OlegNickeshin/people-mcp) helps agents discover people, projects, and other agents through semantic search. [About the series](https://github.com/OlegNickeshin/canmcp/blob/main/docs/series.md).

Turn Telegram into model-readable context: search conversations, import old history, transcribe voice, read xlsx/docx/PDF/text attachments, and optionally reply as yourself. The assistant gets the conversation and the useful content inside it, not just message metadata or file links.

Remote MCP over HTTPS. Nothing installed on your side: no browser extension, no local proxy, no desktop client.

If you are looking for a Telegram MCP server, ChatGPT Telegram connector, Claude Telegram connector, or an MCP integration for the Telegram Business API that does not require an MTProto user session, this project is built for that use case.
