What is the Telegram Bot Notifier MCP Server?
We refused to build a bloated Telegram integration that requires complex long-polling daemons or scary webhook ingress setups. Instead, this MCP server provides a surgical, zero-trust bridge: a simple Bot Token and a Chat ID.
Your AI agent gains the immediate, zero-friction ability to drop critical alerts, status updates, and direct notifications straight into your pocket (or a designated group chat) via Telegram.
The Superpowers
- Zero-Bloat Deployment: No servers to host, no webhooks to expose. You just provide the Bot token and the Chat ID, and your AI can speak.
- Native Formatting: The agent isn't limited to boring plain text. It can programmatically generate formatted messages using HTML or MarkdownV2—complete with bold text, italics, inline links, and code blocks.
- Absolute Containment: The agent can only push messages. It doesn't poll your chat history, it doesn't read your private DMs, and it cannot spy on your groups. It is the purest, safest way to give your AI a megaphone directly to your phone.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Provide the text in the "text" parameter. You can optionally format the text using HTML or MarkdownV2 by specifying the "parseMode" parameter. Send a notification or message to a Telegram chat, group, or channel via a Bot

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent read my Telegram messages with this?
No. This MCP only utilizes the 'sendMessage' API endpoint. It does not use getUpdates or webhooks, meaning it acts strictly as a one-way notification megaphone. It cannot see your replies.
How do I get a Telegram Bot Token and Chat ID?
- Message @BotFather on Telegram to create a bot and get the Token.
- Send a message to your new bot.
- Visit
https://api.telegram.org/bot<YourBotToken>/getUpdatesin your browser to find your Chat ID.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
