Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

bot

create_bot

Get a link that creates the user's own Telegram bot in one tap — no @BotFather, no token, no server. Takes a template slug (support, feedback, shop and others) or a plain-words description of the bot. The user opens the link in Telegram, confirms, and the bot is live and hosted by @catalogue_app; they can edit it later in the node editor.

list_bot_templates

List Catalogue App bot templates (support, feedback, anonymous questions, shop, paid channel, captcha and more). Each one is a ready bot graph with a one-click creation link.

apps

search_apps

Search the Catalogue App directory of Telegram mini apps, bots and TON services by name, @username or topic. Returns name, category, one-line description, monthly users where measured, and links to the catalogue card and to the app in Telegram.

channels

search_channels

Search 1.5M+ public Telegram channels, group chats and bots tracked by Catalogue App. Filter by kind and size. Returns @username, title, kind, subscriber count and links.

pack

create_pack

Get a link to the Catalogue App pack studio in Telegram: the user's own photos, videos or GIFs become a custom emoji or sticker pack, or a pack is assembled from the library by theme. Returns a t.me link that opens the studio with the request filled in.

packs

search_packs

Search the Catalogue App library of Telegram custom emoji and sticker packs by theme, title, emoji or pack name. Returns pack title, short name, add link (t.me/addemoji or t.me/addstickers) and catalogue page.

telegram_bot_api_guide

Practical, current notes on Telegram: what changed in 2025–2026, widgets (HTML inside messages), managed bots, Mini Apps, custom emoji and sticker packs, Telegram Stars payments, webhooks and limits, group and channel moderation, and secretary mode for personal chats — with links to the official docs.

Catalogue App — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Catalogue App do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_bot, create_pack, list_bot_templates, search_apps, search_channels, search_packs and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Catalogue App working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 182 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Catalogue App?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Catalogue App need an API key?

No. Catalogue App completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Catalogue App?

It answers our handshake in 182 ms on average, which is faster than 72% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Catalogue App open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at gramnews.org, which runs on its operator's own terms.
