Tgcloud MCP Server

tgcloud-mcp — MCP server for Telegram serverless bots

Русский · 中文 · العربية · Deutsch · Français

Unofficial project. This is a community tool (author @sdamarketing), not affiliated with Telegram. The platform's official tool is the @tgcloud/cli CLI. tgcloud-mcp wraps that CLI in MCP. Threat model: SECURITY.md.

Teaches an AI assistant to manage Telegram serverless bots (core.telegram.org/bots/serverless): you say "create a bot", "deploy", "show the webhook" — the assistant runs tgcloud and you do not have to drive the terminal.

Works with any MCP client: opencode, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot), Windsurf, Zed. The same server and skill are also one Agent Plugin (agent-plugin/) for Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kiro, and VS Code.

Documentation

The docs site (docs7) and the Context7 index: context7.com/sdamarketing/tgcloud_mcp.

Other languages: ru, zh, ar, de, fr. Commands: tgcloud-mcp setup, tgcloud-mcp update, tgcloud-mcp links, tgcloud-mcp --help.

What it does

16 tools over the tgcloud CLI:

Plus MCP resources tgcloud://docs/* — platform reference in English (layout, import rules, sdk/db, sdk/api, sdk/fetch, CLI, limits).

Tool descriptions and the skill are English so the model follows one text. The assistant is told to answer you in your language. Human docs are English, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, German, and French.

Security

• Destructive calls need confirmation. reset, push --force, applying upgrade, applying migrations, and webhook sync --drop-pending refuse to run without confirm: true. The assistant shows the change and asks first.
• Tokens do not leak. The bot token goes to the CLI on stdin and is masked in every tool result.

Install

Prefer the npm package (published with OIDC trusted publishing and Sigstore provenance). curl | bash is convenient and runs a remote script: read it first (drop the | bash), or use npm.

Node.js 20+ (the platform CLI needs 18+).

npm:

npm install -g tgcloud-mcp
tgcloud-mcp setup

The wizard writes the MCP config. Say yes to the Agent Plugin and it copies agent-plugin/ to ~/.tgcloud-mcp/agent-plugin, into Cursor's local plugin folder, and into VS Code chat.pluginLocations.

One command (macOS / Linux / WSL):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdamarketing/tgcloud_mcp/main/install.sh | bash

Docker:

docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/sdamarketing/tgcloud-mcp

From source:

git clone https://github.com/sdamarketing/tgcloud_mcp.git
cd tgcloud_mcp
npm install && npm test

Details: docs/SETUP.md.

Connect an agent

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tgcloud": {
      "command": "tgcloud-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Example

You: create an echo bot in ~/bots/echo Agent: create_project → login_bot (asks @BotFather for the token) → edits handlers/message.js → push → webhook_sync. The bot is live. You: test it Agent: run_handler with { chat: { id: 1 }, text: "hi" } and shows the output and logs.

After front-end edits the agent calls deploy (build, then push). A plain push uploads the build folder as it is and does not run the bundler.

Cookbook

A serverless bot with a Mini App in one evening — the long walkthrough is Russian; the commands are the platform's. Short overviews: docs/cookbook.en.mdx and the ru, zh, ar, de, fr siblings.

Skill

skills/tgcloud is the procedure the agent follows: layout, imports, recipes, guardrails. The same file is agent-plugin/skills/tgcloud/SKILL.md. npm run docs:check fails if the copies diverge.
