This article explains how to set up a Telegram bot to work with Claude Code using an MCP server. It covers the steps from creating a bot with BotFather to configuring the server and pairing it with Claude for direct messaging. Key commands and configurations are detailed for effective integration.
- An MCP server bridges Telegram and Claude Code, letting bot messages flow directly into a Claude Code session, with replies, reactions, and edits supported.
- Setup requires creating a bot via BotFather for a token, installing the plugin, and running the server with a channel flag; each bot needs its own directory for multi-instance use.
- Pairing happens by DMing the bot for a code entered into Claude Code, with no invite needed (unlike Discord), and allowlist mode should replace pairing mode afterward for security.
- The bot can't search or access message history, so it downloads photos automatically but relies on the user to manually supply earlier context when needed.
