Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted Telegram MCP server that lets an AI assistant read chats and bot info and send, edit, forward, pin or delete messages via a Telegram bot.

What you can do
  • Read chat, member, file and bot details, plus bot commands, names, descriptions and user profile photos
  • Send text messages, photos, videos, audio, contacts, locations and polls to chats
  • Copy, forward, edit captions or text, pin and unpin messages
  • Delete messages and unpin all pinned messages in a chat
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to post updates to Telegram channels or groups, look up chat and member details, or manage existing messages through a bot you already control, without writing Bot API code.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint added by URL; no local runtime or package. Sign-in to the provider account via OAuth is required, and the assistant connects to a Telegram bot. A paid provider plan is needed after a 7-day trial.
Before you install
15 of the 24 actions write to Telegram: sending, editing, forwarding, pinning and deleting messages, which can be visible to others or irreversible. Destructive actions such as deletes are off by default and must be enabled by an admin; read-only connections are available. Messages and chat data pass through the hosted provider.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Telegram MCP by InsightfulPipe in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.insightfulpipe%2Ftelegram/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Control What Your AI Can Do

You decide what AI agents can do with each connected account:

  • Turn individual actions on or off for every connected account, so agents only see the actions you allow.
  • Connect as Read-only or Read & Write. A read-only connection can only enable read actions.
  • Destructive actions stay off by default. Actions such as deletes are disabled until an admin enables them.
  • Team access per account. Restricted team members only use the accounts they are granted, with the read actions enabled on them.

Usage Examples

"Send this week's update to our announcements channel"
"Show details about this chat"
"Pin the latest message in the channel"
