MCP Server Setup Instructions

MCP Server Setup Instructions

This MCP server provides a Telegram AI agent that can interact with Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Tasks using the Ionos AI model.

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.8 or higher
2. Google Cloud Project with APIs enabled
3. Telegram Bot Token
4. Ionos AI API Key

Step 1: Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 2: Google Cloud Setup

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or select existing one
3. Enable the following APIs:
   • Gmail API
   • Google Calendar API
   • Google Tasks API
4. Create OAuth2 credentials:
   • Go to "Credentials" → "Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
   • Choose "Desktop application"
   • Download the JSON file and rename it to credentials.json
   • Place it in the same directory as your script

Step 3: Telegram Bot Setup

1. Message @BotFather on Telegram
2. Use /newbot command to create a new bot
3. Follow the instructions and get your bot token
4. Copy the token to your .env file

   • A URL will be displayed
   • Open it in your browser
   • Grant permissions
   • Copy the authorization code back to the terminal

3. Your credentials will be saved in token.pickle for future use

Security Notes

1. Keep your .env file secure and never commit it to version control
2. The token.pickle file contains sensitive authentication data
3. Use HTTPS in production environments
4. Regularly rotate your API keys

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "ModuleNotFoundError": Make sure all dependencies are installed
2. "Authentication failed": Check your Google credentials and re-run authentication
3. "Telegram bot not responding": Verify your bot token and network connection
4. "Ionos AI errors": Check your API key and rate limits

Logs

The server logs important events. Check the console output for error messages and debugging information.

Development

To extend functionality:

1. Add new tools in the setup_handlers() method
2. Implement corresponding methods for each tool
3. Update the resource list if needed
4. Test thoroughly before deploying

Production Deployment

For production use:

1. Use a process manager like systemd or supervisord
2. Set up proper logging
3. Configure firewall rules
4. Use environment-specific configuration
5. Set up monitoring and alerting

API Rate Limits

Be aware of API rate limits:

• Gmail API: 1 billion quota units per day
• Calendar API: 1 million requests per day
• Tasks API: 50,000 requests per day
• Ionos AI: Check your plan limits

Support

For issues or questions:

1. Check the logs for error messages
2. Verify all credentials are correct
3. Test individual components separately
4. Check API status pages for service outages
