Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

claude mcp add better-telegram-mcp -- uvx better-telegram-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "better-telegram-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "better-telegram-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

[mcp_servers.better-telegram-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["better-telegram-mcp"]

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "better-telegram-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "better-telegram-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN (Telegram bot token from @BotFather (for bot mode)), TELEGRAM_API_ID (Telegram API ID from my.telegram.org (for user mode)), TELEGRAM_API_HASH (Telegram API hash from my.telegram.org (for user mode)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
