Telegram MCP Server

MCP server sederhana untuk menghubungkan akun Telegram pribadi kamu ke AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, dll).

Dibuat mirip konsep whatseal-mcp (Edo Sulai) / WhatsApp MCP style:

  • Pakai user account (bukan bot) via MTProto
  • Tools yang fokus & berguna
  • Auth pakai session string (portable)
  • Cocok untuk cari lowongan remote di channel Telegram lalu apply via email

Fitur (Tools)

Tool Deskripsi
get_me Info akun Telegram kamu
list_dialogs List chat / grup / channel (bisa filter unread)
get_messages Ambil pesan dari chat tertentu
send_message Kirim pesan teks (bisa reply)
search_messages Cari keyword (bisa filter X hari terakhir, global/per-chat) — cocok cari lowongan
mark_as_read Tandai chat sudah dibaca
get_chat_info Detail info chat / user / grup
download_media Download foto/dokumen/video dari pesan
forward_message Forward pesan ke chat lain
edit_message Edit pesan yang sudah dikirim
delete_messages Hapus satu atau banyak pesan
send_file Kirim file lokal (foto, dokumen, dll)
get_contacts List kontak Telegram

Setup

1. Dapatkan API ID & Hash

  1. Buka https://my.telegram.org/apps
  2. Login dengan nomor Telegram
  3. Buat aplikasi baru (isi title & short name bebas)
  4. Catat api_id dan api_hash

2. Install dependency

cd telegram-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Generate Session String

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env → isi TELEGRAM_API_ID dan TELEGRAM_API_HASH

python generate_session.py

Ikuti prompt:

  • Masukkan nomor HP (format internasional, contoh +6281234567890)
  • Masukkan kode yang dikirim Telegram
  • Password 2FA jika ada

Copy session string yang muncul → tempel ke .env sebagai TELEGRAM_SESSION_STRING.

Session string ini setara password. Jangan share ke siapapun.

4. Test manual

python server.py

Kalau muncul log Connected as ... berarti sukses (server menunggu input MCP via stdio).


Konfigurasi MCP Client

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "telegram": {
      "command": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/telegram-mcp/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/telegram-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "TELEGRAM_API_ID": "12345678",
        "TELEGRAM_API_HASH": "your_api_hash",
        "TELEGRAM_SESSION_STRING": "your_session_string"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add telegram -s user \\
  -e TELEGRAM_API_ID=12345678 \\
  -e TELEGRAM_API_HASH=your_hash \\
  -e TELEGRAM_SESSION_STRING=your_session \\
  -- python /path/to/telegram-mcp/server.py

Contoh Prompt — Use Case Cari Lowongan Remote + Apply

Workflow yang paling cocok:

  1. Cari lowongan

    • "Cari pesan Telegram yang mengandung 'remote golang' dalam 7 hari terakhir"
    • "Search keyword 'backend remote' atau 'hiring remote' di semua chat"
    • "List lowongan remote di channel @nama_channel_job dalam 3 hari terakhir"
  2. Listing & filter

    • "Dari hasil search tadi, list yang relevan buat backend / full-stack, ringkas masing-masing 1 paragraf"
    • "Pilih 3 lowongan yang paling cocok, kasih company + role + link apply kalau ada"
  3. Apply via email (pakai Gmail yang sudah connect)

    • "Buatkan email apply untuk lowongan X"
    • "Kirim email apply ke hr@company.com dengan subject dan body yang sudah kita draft"

Prompt lain

  • "Cek chat Telegram yang belum dibaca"
  • "Ringkas 20 pesan terakhir dari grup XYZ"
  • "Kirim pesan ke @username: ..."
  • "Download media dari pesan ID ... di chat ..."

Catatan Keamanan

  • Ini user account (MTProto). Jangan dipakai untuk spam / mass messaging → risiko ban.
  • Session string = akses penuh ke akun. Simpan aman.
  • Tool send_message / send_file / delete_messages bisa mengubah data atas nama kamu. Hati-hati.
  • Disarankan mulai dengan tool read-only dulu, baru enable send setelah yakin.

Next Ideas

  • Draft management
  • Rate limiting
  • ACL (whitelist chat tertentu)
  • Transcribe voice notes
  • React to messages

Kalau mau ditambah tools tertentu, bilang saja.
