MCP server
Telegram MCP server
Telegram has no official MCP server. Modiva hosts one with 10 typed tools built on the Bot API, so an agent can post to channels, manage groups and handle bot conversations alongside every other platform you have connected.
Telegram's Bot API is famously open, but running a bot still means hosting a webhook, storing a token and writing the glue between your agent and the API. Modiva hosts all of that: connect a bot once and the MCP server exposes channel posting, group management and message handling as tools any MCP client can call.
10 typed Telegram tools
Grouped by resource, not by platform — so the same tool names work across every connected account.

Does this use a bot or my personal Telegram account?
A bot, which is how Telegram's official API works. You create the bot with @BotFather in a minute, connect its token to Modiva, and add it to the channels or groups it should manage.
Can an agent post to Telegram channels?
Yes. Once your bot is an admin of a channel, the posts_ tools publish text and media messages to it, immediately or scheduled.
Can it read and reply to messages in groups?
Yes, in groups where the bot is present and privacy mode allows it. The messages_ tools read incoming messages and send replies.
