Telegram Archive MCP Overview

It exposes read-only archive resources plus tools for message search, pagination, date-based retrieval, pinned messages, forum topics, and chat statistics. The server authenticates against the archive through its login API and can run over stdio or HTTP at `/mcp`. Use it when an agent needs read access to an existing Telegram Archive rather than direct Telegram API access.
