mtcute is a modern, performant and ✨ cute ✨ mtproto library and bot framework, supporting both web and nodejs.

🤖 just starting a (user)bot? use the scaffolding tool:

pnpm create @mtcute/bot

🏭 want to integrate it into your existing nodejs app? use the nodejs wrapper:

pnpm add @mtcute/node
# for native crypto
pnpm add @mtcute/crypto-node

✨ building something for web? use the web package:

pnpm add @mtcute/web

• 🍰 simple: mtcute hides all the complexity and provides a clean and modern api
• ✨ compatible: mtcute supports almost everything bot api does, and even more!
• 🍡 lightweight: running instance uses less than 50 mb of ram
• 🛡️ type-safe: most of the apis (including mtproto) are strictly typed to help your workflow
• ⚙️ hackable: almost every aspect of the library is customizable, including networking and storage
• 🕙 up-to-date: mtcute uses the latest TL schema to provide the newest features as soon as possible

mtcute strives to:

• be customizable enough to fit most of the possible use-cases
• be lightweight, both in terms of runtime and bundle size
• support (theoretically) any environment without much hassle
• provide a solid foundation for all kinds of applications on telegram platform
• provide a convenient high-level api for the most commonly used features

mtcute is NOT and will never be:

• a library for spam/flood or otherwise malicious activities
• a fully feature-complete library - highlevel apis will never cover the entirety of the apis. feel free to contribute, though!
• a drop-in replacement for (insert library name)
• a teapot

git clone https://github.com/mtcute/mtcute
fnm use # or `nvm use`
cd mtcute
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

# generate code from tl schema
pnpm -C packages/tl run gen-code
