What the publisher says

From the tgden — Telegram catalog & search repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

tgden — Telegram catalog as an MCP server + free API

A live index of what exists on Telegram: 1.2M+ channels, 245k+ group chats, 160k+ bots, 4.9M+ indexed posts. No Telegram account. No API key. No install. CORS enabled — it runs from a browser tab as happily as from a server.

  • MCP endpoint — https://tgden.com/api/mcp
  • REST API — https://tgden.com/api/catalog
  • Human UI — tgden.com · Docs — tgden.com/en/api-docs

Why another Telegram MCP server?

Every other Telegram MCP server connects to your Telegram account — you hand it an API hash, a phone number or a bot token, and it reads your dialogs, sends your messages, manages your groups. Useful, but it can only ever see what you already have access to.

This one is the opposite. It's a public catalog, so it answers the question none of the others can:

"What Telegram channels and groups exist about X, and which are worth joining?"

Because it never touches an account, there's nothing to leak and nothing to get banned.

Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http tgden https://tgden.com/api/mcp

Listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.JustJuice55/telegram-catalog — clients that browse the registry find it under telegram.

Claude Desktop · Cursor · any MCP client — add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tgden": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tgden.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

That's the entire setup: streamable HTTP transport, stateless, no auth handshake.

Check it by hand:

curl -s https://tgden.com/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | jq '.result.tools[].name'

Tools

Resources

Free REST API (no key either)

Telegram has no official public search. Finding a channel, a live discussion group or a bot by topic means guessing usernames or trusting closed directories. If you don't speak MCP, the same catalog is plain HTTP.

GET /api/catalog — search

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
