A simple chat bridge that connects over 20 chat protocols like Slack, Discord, IRC, Matrix, and Telegram.
Matterbridge is an open-source chat bridge that connects over 20 different chat protocols, allowing messages to flow seamlessly between platforms like Slack, Discord, IRC, Matrix, and Telegram. It solves the problem of fragmented communication by enabling communities to interact across their preferred chat services without requiring everyone to switch to a single platform.
Community managers, open-source projects, and teams who need to bridge communication across multiple chat platforms (e.g., bridging IRC for developers with Slack for non-technical members).
Developers choose Matterbridge for its extensive protocol support, self-hostability, and simplicity—it works without requiring a central service like Mattermost and offers reliable message synchronization with minimal configuration.
bridge between mattermost, IRC, gitter, xmpp, slack, discord, telegram, rocketchat, twitch, ssh-chat, zulip, whatsapp, keybase, matrix, microsoft teams, nextcloud, mumble, vk and more with REST API (mattermost not required!)

Natively bridges over 20 chat services including Slack, Discord, IRC, and Telegram, as listed in the README, enabling wide interoperability without第三方 dependencies.
Supports message edits, deletes, threading, and file attachments across bridges, preserving conversation context and reducing fragmentation.
Maintains user identity by spoofing usernames and avatars across platforms, minimizing confusion in cross-channel interactions.
Allows multiple gateways and private group bridging via customizable TOML files, enabling complex, multi-directional chat networks.
Provides a REST API that powers third-party bridges to games like Minecraft and custom apps, extending functionality beyond native protocols.
Setting up bridges requires manual editing of TOML files with platform-specific tokens and gateway rules, which can be error-prone and steep for newcomers.
No official hosted service exists; users must deploy and maintain their own instances, increasing operational overhead and responsibility for uptime.
Advanced features like WhatsApp multidevice support are in beta and require building from source with specific tags, adding setup complexity and potential instability.
Some API-based integrations are archived or inactive, as noted in the 'Past 3rd party projects' section, limiting ready-made extensions for niche use cases.
