- Chat via your own Telegram bot — you own the token, you own the data
- MCP over streamable-HTTP — plug into Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc
- OpenRouter under the hood — swap models freely (Claude 5, GPT, Gemini)
- Self-host in one Docker Compose command if you don't want us in the loop
- Any plain-English message → assistant replies with memory of the conversation

}Bidirectional Telegram ⇆ agent bridge. No LLM in our stack — your MCP agent brings the brain, we just move messages both ways. Tools: get_new_messages (pull inbound), send_telegram_message (push outbound), list_recent_messages, clear_history. Slash commands (/help /clear /recent /window /usage) are handled by the platform so the bot is useful even when your agent is offline. Sign in with Google or GitHub, paste your BotFather token, plug the URL into Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client.
