Telegram for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT & agents

Telegram — send text messages and photos via a bot, fetch incoming updates (long-polling), and inspect chat metadata via the Telegram Bot API

curl -fsSL https://syncorelabs.ai/install.sh | sh

What it does

Telegram — send text messages and photos via a bot, fetch incoming updates (long-polling), and inspect chat metadata via the Telegram Bot API. Use when the user mentions Telegram, bot, bot token, channel post, group chat, send a TG, or wants to push notifications / alerts / images to a Telegram chat. Supports HTML / Markdown / MarkdownV2 parse modes.

The Telegram skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.

Sample prompts

Once Syncore is installed and Telegram is connected, ask your agent something like:

• “Send message from Telegram.”
• “Get updates from Telegram.”
• “Get chat from Telegram.”
