Telegram

Mudabbir supports Telegram via the python-telegram-bot library. It works as a standard Telegram bot with support for topics, inline keyboards, and streaming.

Setup

export MUDABBIR_TELEGRAM_TOKEN="your-bot-token"

# Telegram-only mode
mudabbir --telegram

# Or via web dashboard (configure in Channels modal)
mudabbir

Configuration

Features

Streaming

Telegram supports edit-in-place streaming. The bot sends an initial message and then edits it as more tokens arrive, giving a real-time typing effect.

Topic Support

Mudabbir supports Telegram’s topic feature (available in groups with topics enabled). Each topic gets its own session:

• Session key format: {chat_id}:topic:{topic_id}
• Messages in different topics maintain separate conversation histories

Access Control

Restrict access by specifying allowed Telegram user IDs:

export MUDABBIR_ALLOWED_TELEGRAM_IDS="123456,789012"

Only users with these IDs can interact with the bot. If not set, anyone can use the bot.

Commands

The bot responds to direct messages and can be configured with custom commands via BotFather’s /setcommands.

Installation

curl -fsSL https://mudabbir.fly.dev/install.sh | sh

# Or add the Telegram extra manually
pip install mudabbir[telegram]

This installs python-telegram-bot as a dependency.
