Telegram Bridge — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Telegram Bridge?

Telegram Bridge runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-telegram-bridge.

How do I connect Telegram Bridge?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-telegram-bridge straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is Telegram Bridge open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
