Telegram Archive MCP

A tiny bridge that exposes any Telegram-Archive instance as an MCP server, enabling LLMs to search messages, browse chats, and access archived Telegram history. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting communication tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Go.
