Bring Telegram context into engineering work while Type keeps app access attached to the teammate and workspace.
AI agent integrationTelegram
Telegram integration for multiplayer collaboration with AI agents using Claude Code or Codex
One governed connection your whole team and its AI agents can share, with approved actions and human review, so working in Telegram never means pasting credentials into a prompt.

Communication & Meetings
What the Telegram integration exposes
Telegram is a cloud-based messaging app with a focus on security and speed. Build bots to send messages, manage chats, and interact with users.
One connection, many teammates
Connect Telegram once, then decide which teammates can use it for threads, automations, skills, and coding work.
Representative actions
- Answer Callback Query
Use this method to send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards. The answer will be displayed to the user as a notification at the top of the chat screen or as an alert.
- Export Chat Invite Link
Generate a new primary invite link for a chat; any previously generated primary link is revoked. The bot must be an administrator in the chat for this to work and must have the appropriate administrator rights.
- Delete Message
Delete a message, including service messages. Limitations: cannot delete messages older than 48 hours in groups, forwarded messages, or content in protected chats (returns 400 'message can’t be deleted'). Bot must have delete/manage rights in the target chat; works reliably only on bot-authored messages in groups. Verify permissions via TELEGRAM_GET_CHAT or TELEGRAM_GET_CHAT_ADMINISTRATORS before calling. On flood control, Telegram returns HTTP 429 with a retry_after field; honor that backoff value.
- Edit Message
Edit text messages sent by the bot. Only bot-authored messages can be edited; editing messages from other users will fail. In groups, the bot must have edit permissions.
- Forward Message
Forward messages of any kind. Service messages can't be forwarded.
Connection
API and auth details
Telegram's Bot API is an HTTP interface for creating bots that send and receive messages, manage chats, process commands, upload/download files, use inline keyboards, answer callback queries, and respond to updates through polling or webhooks. Bots authenticate with tokens issued by BotFather.

Yes. Codex can collaborate through Type with app context, skills, and approved actions. The Telegram catalog entry includes public integration details and example capabilities where available.
Is this the same as a Telegram MCP server?
Type exposes connected app capabilities to AI teammates and coding agents through Type's integration layer. Teams use it when they want shared app access, human review, and teammate-level permissions around agent work.
