Do I need a Telegram API key?

No. BuzzTake signs in to your Telegram account the way a person does, so there is no developer app, API key or app review.

Can my AI agent use Telegram through MCP?

Yes. Add the BuzzTake MCP server to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Each Telegram action is a tool, such as post, reply or send_message.

What does a Telegram action cost?

A post is 10 credits ($0.10), a reply 8, a like or a follow 3, and a read 4. One credit is one US cent.

Telegram API for AI agents

Connect your Telegram account once. Your agent posts, replies, likes and follows, and sends DMs through MCP or REST. No Telegram API key and no app review.

Automate Telegram with MCP

Ask in plain words. Your agent makes the call and gets the link back.

A message with media in a channel or group named in `destination`.

// You: "Post the update in our Telegram channel."
// The agent calls the post tool:
{
  "account_id": "acc_telegram",
  "text": "Version 2.4 is out.",
  "destination": "@acme_demo_channel"
}
