Node.js 16 or higher, a Telegram bot token (obtained from @BotFather), and your Telegram chat ID.

2

How do I get a Telegram bot token?

Start a chat with [@BotFather](https://t.me/botfather) on Telegram, send the command `/newbot`, follow the instructions, and BotFather will provide a token.

3

Add a JSON entry to the MCP settings file (Cline) or config file (Claude Desktop) under `mcpServers`, specifying `command: "node"`, `args` pointing to the built `index.js`, and `env` containing `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` and `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`.
