🤖 Telegram MCP Agent

Turn your AI into a Remote Worker.
Control Claude or Cursor directly from Telegram with a continuous, interactive loop.

✨ Features

• 🔄 Infinite Remote Loop: The AI doesn't just send a message and quit. It enters a "Telegram Mode" loop where it waits for your commands, executes them, and reports back—indefinitely.

• 🔘 Smart Interactive Buttons: Every message comes with context-aware buttons (e.g., "Run Tests", "Fix Bug") for quick 1-tap replies.

• 🗣️ Multi-Language Support: Speaks your language! If you write in Hebrew, it replies in Hebrew.

• 🎨 Rich Formatting: Sends beautiful Markdown messages with bold text, code blocks, and lists.

• 🔌 Universal Support: Optimized for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Prerequisites: Setting up Telegram 📱

Before installing, you need to set up your Telegram environment:

1. Create a Bot:

   • Open @BotFather in Telegram.

   • Send /newbot and follow the instructions to get your Bot Token.

2. Create a Supergroup:

   • Create a new Group.

   • Enable Topics: Go to Group Settings > Chat History > Enable "Topics" (or "Forum"). This is critical!

3. Add Bot as Admin:

   • Add your new bot to the group.

   • Promote it to Admin with full permissions (specifically "Manage Topics").

4. Initialize:

   • Send a dummy message in the "General" topic of the group (e.g., "Init").

   • This ensures the group ID is accessible.

5. Get Group ID:

   • Forward a message from the group to @RawDataBot (or use another method) to find the Chat ID (usually starts with -100).

2. Installation

We provide an automated installer that sets up everything for you.

python install.py

This script will:

1. Install Python dependencies.

2. Ask for your Telegram Bot Token and Group ID.

3. Configure Claude Desktop and Claude Code automatically.

4. Output the configuration needed for Cursor.

2. Activate "Telegram Mode"

To start the remote worker loop, just tell your AI agent:

"I'm leaving. Switch to Telegram." Or in Hebrew: "אני יוצא לקפה, תמשיך מטלגרם."

The AI will:

1. Open a new topic in your Telegram Group.

2. Send you a message: "I am ready. What should I do?"

3. Wait for your reply (blocking execution).

3. Stop the Session

To exit the loop, simply click the "Done for now" (or "סיימנו לעכשיו") button in Telegram.

📂 Configuration Files

• CLAUDE.md: Strict rules for Claude Code to enforce the loop and formatting.

• .cursorrules: Auto-detection rules for Cursor and other agents.

• TELEGRAM_MODE.md: A system prompt you can paste manually if needed.

🛠️ Manual Configuration (Cursor)

To configure Cursor:

1. Open Settings (Ctrl+, or Cmd+,).

2. Navigate to Features > MCP.

{
  "name": "telegram-agent",
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "python",
  "args": ["/absolute/path/to/telegram-mcp/server.py"]
}

(Note: Use the full absolute path to your python executable and the server.py file)
