Telegram + Copilot integration
Connect Telegram to Copilot
ConnectChats brings your Telegram chats into Copilot. Ask Copilot to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Copilot can do with your Telegram
ConnectChats gives Copilot a small set of tools. Copilot calls them when you ask about your Telegram chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Copilot reads your unread Telegram chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Copilot searches your Telegram history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Copilot writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Telegram account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How to connect Telegram to Copilot
It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
Add ConnectChats to Copilot
- In VS Code, open the Command Palette, run MCP: Add Server, choose HTTP and paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp.
- Name the server connectchats. Copilot opens the ConnectChats sign-in page, where you sign in with your passkey.
- Your shared chats are then available when you ask Copilot about your messages in agent mode.
-
Link your Telegram account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Telegram.
- Enter the phone number of your Telegram account, with the country code.
- Telegram sends a login code to your Telegram app. Type it into ConnectChats.
- If your account has a two-step verification password, ConnectChats asks for it next.
- Your chats appear in the dashboard, where you pick the ones your AI app can see.
-
Pick the chats Copilot can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Copilot never sees the rest.
-
Ask Copilot about your Telegram
Open a new conversation in Copilot and ask about your chats. Copilot calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Telegram and Copilot work together
ConnectChats signs in to your Telegram account as a new session, the same way Telegram Desktop does, and brings in your private chats and groups. Because Telegram keeps chats in the cloud, it does not depend on your phone being online.

Telegram in ConnectChats
Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Private chats and groups are supported. Secret chats are not, because Telegram keeps them only on the device where they were started. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions. ConnectChats shows up as an active session in Telegram under Settings, Devices, where you can end it at any time. The free plan links 2 chat apps and keeps messages for 30 days.
-
ConnectChats in Copilot
ConnectChats works with GitHub Copilot in VS Code and with Copilot Studio agents, which can both add a remote MCP server. The consumer Copilot app for Windows, the web and your phone does not offer a setting to add your own MCP server. In VS Code, GitHub Copilot adds a remote MCP server with the MCP: Add Server command. In Copilot Studio, makers add MCP servers to an agent under Tools, Add a tool, Model Context Protocol. It needs a work account and the right licences. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Copilot without linking them again. The consumer Copilot app has no setting for your own MCP servers, so use ConnectChats through GitHub Copilot in VS Code or a Copilot Studio agent.
Your Telegram stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Copilot only sees the Telegram chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Copilot prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Telegram, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Copilot read my Telegram messages?
Yes, once you link Telegram in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Copilot. Copilot reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Copilot send Telegram messages for me?
Copilot can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own Telegram account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the Telegram to Copilot integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Copilot and link Telegram from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link Telegram once and use it everywhere.
Does my phone need to stay online for Telegram?
No. Telegram stores your chats in its cloud, so ConnectChats keeps receiving messages whether your phone is on or off.
Does it read Telegram secret chats?
No. Secret chats are kept only on the device where they were started, and Telegram does not share them with other sessions. Regular private chats and groups work.
What do I need to link Telegram?
The phone number of your Telegram account and the Telegram app, where the login code arrives. If you set a two-step verification password, you need that too.
Can I use ConnectChats in Microsoft Copilot today?
Yes, through GitHub Copilot in VS Code, which adds ConnectChats with the MCP: Add Server command, and through Copilot Studio agents. The Copilot app for Windows, the web and your phone has no setting to add your own MCP server.
Will it work with Slack messages?
Slack is a separate chat app in ConnectChats. Copilot sees Slack chats only when you link Slack in ConnectChats and share those chats, the same as any other chat app.
