# Telegram MCP Server: Post to Telegram Channels from Claude or ChatGPT **Source:** https://posteverywhere.ai/mcp/telegram --- Telegram Bot API # Telegram MCP Server **PostEverywhere runs a hosted MCP server at `https://mcp.posteverywhere.ai`, and Telegram is one of the 11 platforms it publishes to.** A Telegram MCP server lets an AI assistant broadcast to your Telegram channels through the Telegram Bot API, so an announcement becomes something you describe rather than something you paste. Connect the channel once and schedule from any MCP client. Telegram is a broadcast platform more than a social feed, which changes what automation is for. There is no algorithm deciding who sees a channel post: every subscriber gets it. That makes timing and wording matter more than frequency, and it makes draft-then-approve the sensible default. It is included on every plan from [$29/mo](https://posteverywhere.ai/pricing), alongside the [REST API](https://posteverywhere.ai/social-media-api). If you would rather schedule Telegram from a dashboard, that is our [Telegram scheduler](https://posteverywhere.ai/telegram-scheduler). ## Connect it to your assistant One URL, no separate Telegram credentials to manage. Connect the server once and every platform you have authorised, including Telegram, becomes available to the assistant.

You describe the outcome and the assistant calls the tools: “Write a Telegram channel update about the v1.4 API release, keep it to four short lines with a link to the changelog, and schedule it for 3pm UTC today.” ## Telegram specifics worth knowing ### No algorithm means no second chance Unlike a social feed, a Telegram broadcast reaches every subscriber immediately as a notification. There is no reach curve to recover on, so the first version is the one that counts. ### Bot needs channel admin rights Telegram requires the connected bot to be an administrator of the channel it posts to. This is a one-time setup on the channel. ### Publishing, not conversation This integration broadcasts to channels. It does not read replies or manage group conversations. ## Telegram MCP server FAQs ### What is a Telegram MCP server? An MCP server that exposes Telegram channel posting as tools an AI assistant can call, so Claude or ChatGPT can schedule broadcasts for you. PostEverywhere publishes through the Telegram Bot API. ### Do I need to build a Telegram bot? No. PostEverywhere handles the bot side. You add it as an administrator on the channel you want to publish to, once. ### Can it post to Telegram groups as well as channels? The integration is built for channel broadcasting, where every subscriber receives the post. It is a publishing tool rather than a conversation one. ### Can I schedule Telegram posts in advance? Yes. Give a time and timezone and the broadcast sends itself. Because every subscriber gets a notification immediately, draft mode is worth using first. ### How much does it cost? Included on every plan: Starter $29/mo, Growth $39/mo, Pro $79/mo, each with a 7-day trial. A card is required and there is no free plan. ## Publish to Telegram from your assistant The hosted MCP server, the REST API and all 33 tools are included on every plan.
