Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

telegram-mcp-bot

npm version License: MIT

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude Code to Telegram via a bot.

Setup

  1. Create a bot via @BotFather and copy the token
  2. Add the MCP server:
claude mcp add telegram -s user -e TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your-token -- npx -y telegram-mcp-bot@latest
  1. Message the bot once from Telegram — it remembers you from then on

That's it. Claude can now send and receive messages through the bot.

How It Works

The bot persists known chats to ~/.telegram-mcp/chats.json. After a user messages the bot once, their chat is remembered across restarts. Send tools default to the most recent chat, so chat_id is usually not needed.

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | send_message | Send a text message | | send_photo | Send a photo (URL, file ID, or local path) | | get_updates | Read incoming messages (cursor-based, session-filtered) | | list_chats | List all known chats | | set_session | Set a name/emoji prefix and register a Telegram command for this session |

All send tools default chat_id to the most recent known chat.

Multi-Session Support

Multiple Claude Code sessions can share the same bot. Each session registers itself with a name and emoji:

claude mcp add telegram -s user \
  -e TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your-token \
  -e SESSION_NAME=debug-api \
  -e SESSION_EMOJI=🟢 \
  -- npx -y telegram-mcp-bot@latest

The bot automatically registers Telegram commands per session. In Telegram, tap /debug_api to direct your messages to that session. Use /setup to see all active sessions and your current target.

Messages are routed: each session only receives messages targeted at it (or untargeted messages if no session is selected).

Telegram Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | /setup | Show chat ID, active sessions, and current target | | /<session_name> | Switch message target to that session |

Commands are registered dynamically when sessions connect/disconnect.

Optional Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | |---|---| | SESSION_NAME | Session name — registers a Telegram command and prefixes outgoing messages | | SESSION_EMOJI | Emoji prefix (e.g. 🔵) | | DATA_DIR | Override data directory (default: ~/.telegram-mcp) |

MCP Resources

| Resource URI | Description | |---|---| | telegram://chat/{chatId}/messages | Messages from a specific chat | | telegram://updates/recent | Recent messages across all chats |

Development

git clone [email protected]:hatip5656/telegram-mcp.git
cd telegram-mcp
npm install
npm run build
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your-token npm run dev
