Hosted Telegram MCP alternatives
The Telegram MCP server runs locally through Telethon: you install it, point it at a user account, and it reads chats and sends messages from your own machine. There is no vendor-managed Telegram endpoint to add by URL.
If you would rather authenticate over OAuth and run nothing yourself, the servers below are hosted, each reachable as a remote endpoint the vendor operates. They skew away from consumer chat toward meetings, workspaces, CRMs, and task tools, so treat them as hosted ways to reach the systems around your messaging rather than as Telegram replacements.
The 8 best hosted alternatives
- ZoomOfficial
Reached over OAuth with nothing to run, Zoom's official remote server gives semantic search over meetings, chat, and docs, plus recording assets and Zoom Doc creation, the pick when the agent needs meeting content rather than to message a chat.
Set up Zoom → Notion's hosted server connects over OAuth to search, read, and write across a workspace of pages and databases, the hosted choice when the agent's job is documents and notes rather than Telegram conversations.
Set up Notion →Doist's official Todoist server is hosted and focused on tasks: create, find, update, and complete tasks, projects, sections, labels, reminders, and goals, with no local process to maintain.
Set up Todoist →- AttioOfficial
For contacts and records rather than chats, Attio's official remote server connects to a CRM over OAuth to search, read, create, and update records, lists, and notes.
Set up Attio → - BrevoOfficial
Closest to outbound messaging here, the Brevo hosted server manages contacts, email and SMS campaigns, transactional templates, and CRM deals, through campaigns rather than Telegram chat.
Set up Brevo → - ClickUpOfficial
Tasks, lists, folders, docs, time tracking, and chat across a workspace are what ClickUp's official remote server handles over a managed endpoint, a hosted project surface where Telegram is purely messaging.
Set up ClickUp → - CloseOfficial
Sales-side rather than chat, the official Close server connects to the Close CRM over OAuth to read, create, and update leads, contacts, and deals, all hosted with nothing to install.
Set up Close → - HubSpotOfficial
Running customer data over OAuth, the official HubSpot remote server connects an agent to its CRM to search, read, and update records, a hosted home for the contacts your messaging touches.

How to choose
Telegram has no hosted endpoint, so none of these is a direct swap for messaging a Telegram audience. They are hosted servers you add by URL and authenticate over OAuth, covering the systems around messaging: Zoom for meetings, Notion for docs, Todoist and ClickUp for tasks, and Attio, Close, and HubSpot for CRM records, with Brevo nearest on outbound campaigns. Pick by which adjacent system you want an agent in, and keep Telegram local for the chats themselves.
FAQ
- Is there a hosted version of the Telegram MCP server?
- No. The Telegram server is a local Telethon-based process you run yourself; there is no vendor-managed remote endpoint to authenticate against. If a fully hosted, OAuth-based server is a hard requirement, the alternatives here are hosted but cover adjacent systems rather than consumer chat.
- Do any of these hosted servers reach a consumer chat audience like Telegram?
- Not in the same way. These hosted options lean toward meetings, workspaces, tasks, and CRMs. Brevo comes closest to outbound reach with email and SMS campaigns. For messaging an actual Telegram audience, the Telegram server itself remains the fit, run locally.
