About

MCP server for Telegram userbot — messages, media, reactions, polls & more. Built on GramJS/MTProto.

Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.
