MCP-Telegram

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants like Claude to Telegram via the MTProto protocol. Unlike bots, this runs as a userbot -- it operates under your personal Telegram account using GramJS, giving full access to your chats, contacts, and message history.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: TELEGRAM_PROXY_PASSWORD, TELEGRAM_PROXY_SECRET
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

181/181 tools missing one or more hints — telegram-mute-chat (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); telegram-get-chat-folders (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); telegram-set-auto-delete (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +178 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool inputs are validated

163/181 tool handlers declare input schemas (90%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

180/181 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (99%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Tool test coverage

Only 9/181 tools referenced in tests (5%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Shell command execution

1 child_process call — runs shell commands

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

Dependency freshness

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
