Paid Telegram Bot

Enterprise Telegram bot management for any AI agent — users, payments, analytics, and more.

About

Paid Telegram Bot is a production-grade MCP server that gives any AI agent full enterprise Telegram bot management capabilities. Unlike basic Telegram MCP servers that only send and receive messages, this server includes a built-in SQLite database, token bucket rate limiting, priority message queue, Stripe + Telegram Stars payment processing, multi-user subscription management, deep link onboarding, analytics dashboards, and security event logging — all accessible through 40+ MCP tools.

**How it works**: The server runs as a persistent local process alongside your MCP client. It manages a Telegram bot via long-polling, stores user data and payment records in a local SQLite database, enforces rate limits against Telegram's API caps, and exposes everything as MCP tools your AI agent can call.

**Who it's for**: Developers, indie hackers, agencies, and businesses who want their AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client) to manage a Telegram bot with enterprise features — from personal assistants to monetized SaaS bots serving thousands of users.

**Free tier** includes 12 basic tools for personal bot setup and messaging. **Pro tier** (license required) unlocks 40+ tools including user management, subscription plans, payment processing, analytics, deep links, group mode, event subscriptions, and chat history search.
