4. Bot API based (mcp-server-telegram)
- Install:
pip install mcp-server-telegram - Auth: Bot token from @BotFather
- Limitation: Bots CANNOT read arbitrary user DMs, no contacts, no search
- Use case: Notification bots, broadcast only
Recommendation
Use chaindead/telegram-mcp for full account access. It's Go-based (fast), well-maintained, and supports contacts + message search + media download — exactly what was needed to "查看TG联系人" and "搜索聊天记录".
Prerequisites
- Get API credentials: https://my.telegram.org/auth → API development tools
- Note: This is separate from Bot tokens. MTProto API gives full user-account access.
Security Note
MCP server gets full read access to your Telegram account. Only install servers you trust. The env config ensures credentials aren't leaked to other servers.
