## Description
Full-featured Telegram Bot API MCP server with 174 tools covering the entire Bot API.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "telegram-bot-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","fantomaskarus1-telegram-bot-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN": "",
      "TELEGRAM_DEFAULT_CHAT_ID": "",
      "TELEGRAM_DEFAULT_THREAD_ID": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`, `TELEGRAM_DEFAULT_CHAT_ID`, `TELEGRAM_DEFAULT_THREAD_ID` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).
