Privacy

Your phone does the work

The relay is deliberately dumb. It carries a request to your device and a result back — and drops both.

Pricing

Start for free

Run the messenger with a daily AI allowance and 30 remote requests a day — for nothing. BoB Pro and BoB Max make remote requests unlimited and raise the AI limit; BoB Max is for the heaviest cloud-AI days. This quota is separate from the BoB Tools connector, which has its own 250 free calls a day.

One account for everything: your balance and your free daily AI limit are shared between BoB Chat and BoB Tools — and a Pro or Max subscription raises the limit in both apps.

FAQ

Telegram & WhatsApp MCP, answered

The questions people ask before wiring an AI into their Telegram and WhatsApp.

What is a Telegram or WhatsApp MCP server?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes your Telegram and WhatsApp to an AI client like Codex or Claude as a set of tools — read unread chats, search messages and send replies. BoB Chat relays each command to the app on your phone, which runs it against Telegram or WhatsApp. Nothing is stored in the cloud.
Does it work with WhatsApp?
Yes. Link your WhatsApp account in BoB Chat by QR code or pairing code, and the same MCP tools — chat_unread, chat_search_messages, chat_send — work across your Telegram and WhatsApp accounts side by side. Your AI sees both inboxes in one chat_overview call.
Where does the AI run?
On our servers. Reply suggestions, catch-up summaries and the built-in assistant are generated by BoB's server-side AI, so the messages for a request are sent to our servers to produce the answer. The free plan includes a daily AI allowance, shared with BoB Tools; BoB Pro and BoB Max raise it. Your Telegram and WhatsApp sessions stay on your phone.
Does the Telegram MCP work with Codex?
Yes — Codex is the client it works best with. Add the hosted endpoint to ~/.codex/config.toml via the mcp-remote bridge and Codex can read, search and reply across your Telegram and WhatsApp accounts.
Does it work with Claude Desktop and Claude Code?
Yes. Claude Desktop installs the one-click .mcpb bundle; Claude Code adds it from the bob-tools/bob-plugins marketplace. Any MCP client — including Cursor — can also point at the hosted remote URL.
How do I connect Codex or Claude to Telegram and WhatsApp?
Install the BoB Chat app and sign into Telegram and/or WhatsApp, link your bob.tools account under Accounts → Remote control (MCP), then add the MCP server to your AI client and sign in with the same account. Run chat_overview to confirm the link. Full walkthrough in the setup guide.
Can the AI read my unread messages and search my chats?
Yes. BoB Chat logs in as your own Telegram and WhatsApp user accounts (not bots), so it can read unread messages and search your entire history. Bot-API based Telegram MCP servers and the WhatsApp Business API can't — neither exposes your personal message history or search.
Can the AI send messages by itself?
On the free plan — never. The AI only suggests replies and builds catch-up briefs; nothing is sent to your contacts unless you tap send. On paid plans you can allow it to reply and follow up on your behalf — scoped by rules you define, per account and per chat type.
Where are my Telegram and WhatsApp messages stored?
Your phone does the work. With remote control, the relay carries a short-lived command (≤60s) to your phone and the result back to your AI client, then drops both — message content passes through transiently rather than sitting in the relay. Details in the privacy policy.
Does it work across multiple Telegram and WhatsApp accounts?
Yes. BoB Chat is multi-account, and the MCP tools work across every account you've added — scoped by what you allow per account and chat type (person, bot, group or channel). Up to 4 accounts.
How much does the Telegram & WhatsApp MCP server cost?
The free plan includes a daily AI allowance and 30 remote requests a day from Codex or Claude. For more, you need BoB Pro (from $8.49/month on the web): unlimited remote requests and 3× the free daily AI limit. BoB Max (from $42.49/month on the web) is also unlimited and raises the AI limit to 20× with priority cloud AI. This quota is separate from the BoB Tools connector, which has its own 250 free calls a day. See pricing.
Is BoB Chat on iOS?
Yes — BoB Chat is live on both stores: Google Play for Android and the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Both have the same AI and MCP features.
