Frequently asked questions

How does Mcp Telegram handle permissions?

It uses a default‑deny ACL with per‑chat permissions, so each chat must be explicitly allowed before the server can interact with it.

Does Mcp Telegram use the Bot API or the User API?

It uses the User API (MTProto), meaning it connects to your real Telegram account rather than a bot.

Is there rate limiting?

Yes, the server includes rate limiting to prevent abuse.

What credentials do I need to run Mcp Telegram?

Because it uses the MTProto User API, you need a Telegram account and the associated API ID and API hash.

Where does my data live?

The README excerpt does not specify data storage details. The server likely processes messages and media in memory or transiently, but you should review the full documentation for data handling practices.
