telegram-mcp and mcp-telegram
These are competitors offering overlapping Telegram integration capabilities—chaindead's MCP focuses on dialog/message management while overpod's MCP provides a broader userbot toolset built on GramJS/MTProto—so you'd typically choose one based on whether you need basic message operations or advanced userbot functionality.
