Bot API: getChatAdministrators.telegram_get_updates· Read the messages and events that users sent to the bot and that wait in Telegram's queue (short poll, no wait). Without offset the same updates return again. A positive offset above an update_id, or a negative offset, deletes older updatestelegram_send_message· WRITE: send a text message from the bot to a chat. The message is visible to real people and cannot be unsent except with telegram_delete_message. Bot API: sendMessage.telegram_edit_message_text· WRITE: change the text of a message that the bot sent. This replaces the old text. Bot API: editMessageText.telegram_delete_message· WRITE: delete a message. This cannot be undone. A bot can delete its own messages and incoming private-chat messages. In groups it needs the delete-messages admin right for other messages. Telegram allows deletion only for messages up to 48
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
