overpod

overpod publishes, through the mcp-telegram organization, an MCP server that gives AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor access to Telegram — according to the project, more than 181 individual tools covering messages, media, reactions, polls, stories, and other Telegram features.

Technically, the server runs as an MTProto userbot under a personal Telegram account rather than through classic bot tokens, letting AI agents read and send messages, manage contacts, administer groups, and access message history — capabilities not available through the official Bot API alone. Users can either self-host the server via npm (@overpod/mcp-telegram) with prebuilt binaries for multiple platforms, or use a hosted version at mcp-telegram.com via OAuth 2.0 QR login.

The npm package namespace @overpod/mcp-telegram suggests overpod is the primary developer behind the project, which makes it one of the few MCP servers that specifically connects a personal messaging platform rather than a typical developer service.
