A side-by-side look at the Tgcloud — Telegram serverless bots and FlowCastle MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Tgcloud — Telegram serverless bots for communication work as a local process; choose FlowCastle for communication over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
