  <b>Connect AI agents with Telegram using MCP standard</b>
</div>

## 📖 Overview

TGMCP is a Python package that implements the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-cookbook/tree/main/model_context_protocol) for Telegram. It allows AI agents to seamlessly interact with Telegram accounts, providing access to messaging, contacts, groups, media sharing, and more.

This package acts as a bridge between AI assistants and Telegram, enabling them to:
- Read and send messages
- Manage contacts and groups
- Handle media (images, documents, stickers, GIFs)
- Perform administrative functions
- Update profile information

All data is handled locally and securely through the Telegram API.

## ✨ Key Features

- **Chat Operations**: List chats, retrieve messages, send messages
- **Contact Management**: Add, delete, block/unblock, search contacts
- **Group Administration**: Create groups, add members, manage permissions
- **Media Handling**: Send/receive files, stickers, GIFs, voice messages
- **Profile Management**: Update profile info, privacy settings
- **Message Operations**: Forward, edit, delete, pin messages
- **Administrative Functions**: Promote/demote admins, ban users

## 🚀 Installation

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- Telegram API credentials ([obtain here](https://my.telegram.org/auth))
- UV package installer (recommended)

### Install with UV (Recommended)
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OEvortex/tgmcp.git
cd tgmcp

# Install with UV
uv pip install -e .
```

### Traditional Install
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/OEvortex/tgmcp.git
cd tgmcp

# Install with pip
pip install -e .
```

## ⚙️ Configuration

### Environment Variables

Create a `.env` file in your project directory with your Telegram API credentials:

```
TELEGRAM_API_ID=your_api_id
TELEGRAM_API_HASH=your_api_hash
TELEGRAM_SESSION_NAME=your_session_name
# Optional: Use string session instead of file session
# TELEGRAM_SESSION_STRING=your_session_string
```

### MCP Configuration

To use TGMCP with other MCP-compatible applications, add it to your MCP configuration file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-telegram": {
      "command": "tgmcp", /* use full path if client can't find the command (e.g. "/usr/local/bin/tgmcp"). See IMPORTANT section below for full path instructions. */
      "args": ["start"],
      "env": {
        "TELEGRAM_API_ID": "<your_api_id>",
        "TELEGRAM_API_HASH": "<your_api_hash>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**IMPORTANT**: To find the full path to the `tgmcp` command:
- Windows: `where tgmcp` in Command Prompt or `Get-Command tgmcp` in PowerShell
- macOS/Linux: `which tgmcp` in Terminal

## 🔍 Usage

### Run as MCP Server
```bash
python -m tgmcp
```

### Use in Your Code
```python
import asyncio
from tgmcp import client

async def main():
    # Connect to Telegram
    await client.start()
    
    # Get user info
    me = await client.get_me()
    print(f"Logged in as: {me.first_name} {getattr(me, 'last_name', '')}")
    
    # Send a message
    await client.send_message('username', 'Hello from TGMCP!')
    
    # Disconnect when done
    await client.disconnect()
