Chip MCP — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Brings project memory and Telegram alerts to coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor. Preserves context across sessions.
claude mcp add --transport http chip https://chip-ai.digital/mcp/What Chip MCP does
The server connects your coding assistant to a Chip Telegram account. When an IDE context window clears, your past notes, task progress, and previous decisions remain available. A dedicated whats_new tool pulls only recent project updates. Returning to an unchanged project takes 63 tokens instead of 2538.
The full registry provides 27 tools. Your agent can push updates with notify_me or ask questions through Telegram buttons with ask_user. Switching to a read-only token limits the list to 11 tools. That cuts 1750 tokens from the initial declaration schema.
Chip formats tool responses in Russian and bills in rubles. To use the integration, you must first generate an access token through the @ChipAI_robot Telegram bot.
What it helps with
- recall project context and notes across separate coding sessions
- send Telegram notifications when long commands or test suites finish
- prompt developers for decisions via Telegram interactive buttons
- reduce token overhead on session startup with incremental diffs
Example prompts for the agent
- Check Chip for any project changes made since our last session
- Add a note in Chip explaining the database migration steps we finished
- Send a Telegram notification through Chip once the build completes

What does Chip MCP do?
It links your coding assistant to shared project memory, tasks, and notes stored in Chip. The agent can retrieve past architectural decisions and send alerts directly to your Telegram chat.
Why use a read-only token?
A read-only token exposes 11 tools instead of the full set of 27. This prevents unintentional modifications and saves 1750 tokens during tool registration on every run.
