  <h1>Simple Telegram MCP</h1>
</div>

## ✨ Example use cases

- **Automate tasks**: “Look up the weather forecast and send it to my family group”
- **Stay on top of things**: “Review my unread messages, give me the highlights, and queue polite replies”
- **Polish before sending**: “Read Tony’s latest note in the Family channel, craft three informal reply drafts, and leave them for me to send.”


## 🚀 Quick Start

### Automatic client configuration

| Client            | Command                                           |
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| Cursor            | `uvx simple-telegram-mcp --install cursor`        |
| Claude Desktop    | `uvx simple-telegram-mcp --install claude-desktop`|
| Claude Code       | `uvx simple-telegram-mcp --install claude-code`   |
| Gemini CLI        | `uvx simple-telegram-mcp --install gemini-cli`    |
| MCP JSON (stdout) | `uvx simple-telegram-mcp --install mcp-json`      |
| OpenAI Codex CLI  | `uvx simple-telegram-mcp --install codex-cli`     |

### Authorize Telegram

```bash
uvx simple-telegram-mcp --login

> ✨ Heads-up: the login flow is zero drama. You’ll pop in your phone number, Telegram will DM you a code, you paste it back here, and you’re in.
