Telegram Notify MCP

npm version License: MIT

A dead-simple MCP server with one job: send AI agent progress back to you on Telegram.

That's it. No chat management, no group administration, no inline queries. Just notifications — as text, images, or files.

You kick off an agent, walk away, and get a Telegram message when it's done (or while it's working). Nothing more, nothing less.

Quick Start

1. Create a Telegram Bot

  1. Message @BotFather on Telegram
  2. Send /newbot and follow the prompts
  3. Copy the bot token

2. Start a chat with your bot

Find your bot on Telegram and send /start. This is required so the bot can discover your chat ID.

3. Add to your MCP client

Add to your MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "telegram": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@parthj/telegram-notify-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN": "your-bot-token",
        "TELEGRAM_USERNAME": "your-telegram-username"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Environment VariableRequiredDescription
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKENYesBot token from @BotFather
TELEGRAM_USERNAMEYesYour Telegram username (without the @)

Tools

Three tools. That's the entire surface area.

Send a text update to the user.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription

parse_modestringNoHTML, Markdown, or MarkdownV2

send_photo

Send an image — a screenshot, a chart, a generated visual.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
photostringYesURL or absolute file path
captionstringNoPhoto caption
parse_modestringNoCaption formatting mode

send_document

Send a file — a report, a log, a build artifact.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
documentstringYesURL or absolute file path
captionstringNoDocument caption
parse_modestringNoCaption formatting mode

How It Works

  • On the first tool call, the server resolves your username to a chat ID via the Telegram Bot API's getUpdates
  • Sending /start to the bot is required — Telegram bots can only message users who have initiated a conversation
  • The chat ID is cached for the lifetime of the process

Development

git clone https://github.com/ParthJadhav/telegram-notify-mcp.git

npm run build
