# Telegram Bot Notifier MCP > Telegram Bot Notifier MCP sends critical messages and alerts directly from your AI agent into specific Telegram chats, groups, or channels. This MCP gives any compatible client a secure, read-only way to push notifications—like build failures, status updates, or data reports—straight to your phone without needing complex webhooks or hosting setup. ## Overview - **Category:** talk-to-me - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** notifications, alerts, bot-api, messaging, real-time-alerts, mobile-notifications ## Description Your AI agent needs more than just console output; it needs a reliable voice that hits people's phones. This MCP provides exactly that: a secure bridge to Telegram messaging. You simply provide the Bot token and the Chat ID, and your agent instantly gains the ability to drop alerts and messages into any designated chat. It’s designed for absolute containment—your agent can only push information; it cannot read private DMs or poll group history. This means you get notifications formatted with HTML or MarkdownV2—think bold text, code blocks, and links—so critical alerts don't look like plain garbage text. By connecting this through the Vinkius catalog, your AI client gets immediate access to a powerful messaging tool without any server management overhead. It’s the safest, simplest way to ensure that when an automated process fails or succeeds, someone on your team actually sees it right away. ## Tools ### send_telegram_message Sends a message, optionally using HTML or MarkdownV2 formatting, to a designated Telegram chat, group, or channel via your bot. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Send a Telegram message saying the nightly build failed. ``` **Response:** ``` I've successfully sent the failure notification to your Telegram chat. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Send an alert to Telegram. Format it in HTML with bold text for 'CRITICAL'. ``` **Response:** ``` The HTML formatted alert has been delivered to your Telegram chat. ``` ## Capabilities ### Send formatted alerts The agent pushes messages containing HTML or MarkdownV2 formatting (bold, italics, code blocks) to a specified Telegram chat. ### Target specific chats You direct the notification to an exact group chat, channel, or private user ID within Telegram. ### Handle automated status updates The agent can deliver routine operational reports—like successful nightly builds or data pipeline completion notices—directly into a team communication channel. ## Use Cases ### The nightly build failed A DevOps engineer's CI/CD pipeline breaks overnight. Instead of waiting for a dashboard email that might get lost, the agent automatically calls `send_telegram_message` to push an immediate, formatted alert into the #devops channel, including logs and the failure point. ### Data quality check completed A data scientist runs a complex validation job. Once it passes all checks, the agent uses this MCP to send a summary message containing key metrics (formatted in Markdown) directly into the project chat channel for immediate sign-off. ### API rate limit hit The automated integration attempts too many calls and hits an API quota. The agent immediately sends a formatted alert detailing which service failed and why, alerting the on-call team before they even notice the slowdown. ### User onboarding sequence complete A new user completes all setup steps. The workflow agent uses this MCP to send a congratulatory message, including links to documentation, directly into the dedicated client channel for follow-up. ## Benefits - Instant visibility means less time checking dashboards. When a workflow finishes or breaks, the agent uses `send_telegram_message` to notify your team immediately in Telegram. - It’s built for safety. The MCP only allows messages to be pushed out; it never reads private DMs or polls chat history, so you don't sacrifice security for convenience. - Formatting is native. Don't stick with plain text. You can use `send_telegram_message` and specify HTML or MarkdownV2 to make your critical alerts look professional—with bold headers and code blocks. - No infrastructure headache. Forget setting up webhooks, managing long-polling daemons, or paying for a dedicated server just for notifications. This MCP handles the connection using only a Bot Token and Chat ID. - Supports all workflows. Whether you're running tests via an IDE agent or executing complex pipelines through a specialized client like Cursor or Windsurf, this MCP ensures results land where people look first. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get an immediate, secure way for any automated process to talk to your team via a familiar messaging app. 1. You configure the MCP with your Bot Token and the specific Chat ID for the destination group or user. 2. Your AI agent calls the `send_telegram_message` tool, passing the text content and specifying if it needs HTML or MarkdownV2 formatting. 3. The MCP processes the request and delivers the formatted message instantly to Telegram, notifying your team. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Does Telegram Bot Notifier MCP read my private DMs?** No. This MCP is strictly outbound and contained. It can only push messages; it cannot access your chat history, private direct messages, or read any content that hasn't been explicitly provided by the calling agent. **How do I use send_telegram_message for a group of people?** You simply need to provide the Chat ID of your designated Telegram group. As long as the Bot has permission in that group, the message will land there automatically. **Can I format my alerts using send_telegram_message?** Yes, absolutely. You can specify the `parseMode` parameter when sending the message to use either HTML or MarkdownV2 for rich formatting, making your alerts easy to read. **Is this MCP reliable for mission-critical alerts?** It is designed as a zero-friction bridge. Because it requires only a Bot Token and Chat ID, the deployment complexity drops away, making it ideal for systems that need to be highly dependable. **What if I want to send multiple alerts? Do I need multiple tools?** No. You just call `send_telegram_message` once per alert, passing the required content and formatting parameters in the single tool call.
