# Claude Code Channels Setup Claude Code Channels pushes messages from external platforms (Telegram, Discord) into a running Claude Code session via MCP server plugins. ## Prerequisites - Claude Code v2.1.80+ - [Bun](https://bun.sh) runtime - A claude.ai account (not API key mode) ## Platform Selection Ask which platform(s) the user wants, then follow the relevant reference: - **Telegram**: See [references/telegram.md](references/telegram.md) - **Discord**: See [references/discord.md](references/discord.md) Both can run simultaneously: ```bash claude --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official,plugin:discord@claude-plugins-official ``` ## Universal Workflow Regardless of platform, setup follows 6 steps: 1. **Create bot** on the platform's developer portal 2. **Install plugin**: `/plugin install <platform>@claude-plugins-official` 3. **Configure token**: `/<platform>:configure <token>` 4. **Launch session**: `claude --channels plugin:<platform>@claude-plugins-official` 5. **Pair account**: DM the bot, get a code, run `/<platform>:access pair <code>` 6. **Lock down**: `/<platform>:access policy allowlist` ## Troubleshooting ### MCP Server Shows "failed" on Startup Known race condition — server may fail on cold start but reconnect fine. **Fix**: Run `/mcp`, navigate to the failed server, select **Reconnect**. **Persistent failures** — verify the bot token: ```bash # Telegram TOKEN=$(grep TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN ~/.claude/channels/telegram/.env | cut -d= -f2) cur
