Koskamo

Better-TG-CLI MCP

An unofficial, agent-friendly command-line client for Telegram that runs on your own account using MTProto. It provides approximately 60 commands for reading, searching, writing, interacting with bots, and exporting data. Designed for AI agents like Claude Code and Codex, it features token-efficient output, exact reads with pagination, and safety mechanisms where writes require human approval.
