better-telegram-mcp and mcp-telegram
The two MCP servers for Telegram appear to be **competitors**, as both offer similar core functionality for interacting with Telegram's MTProto, with one (n24q02m/better-telegram-mcp) being a more established and recognized composite tool optimized for AI agents, while the other (overpod/mcp-telegram) focuses specifically on userbot capabilities with a broader set of message, media, and contact tools built on GramJS/MTProto and designed to work with Claude Code.
