This guide explains how to set up a Telegram bot with Claude Code using an MCP server. It covers creating a bot through BotFather, installing the necessary plugin, and the steps to configure and pair the bot with your Claude session.
- Setting up requires creating a bot via BotFather, installing the plugin, and running `/telegram:configure` with the token to write it into the environment file.
- Multiple bot instances need separate `TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR` values to avoid conflicts.
- Pairing works by DMing the bot for a 6-character code, then running `/telegram:access pair <code>` in Claude Code, avoiding the need for numeric user IDs.
- The bot can reply, react with emoji, and edit its own messages, but has no access to message history—only real-time interaction.
