# Setup Bot -- Error Diagnosis Diagnose and fix Telegram bot connectivity issues. This skill assumes the bot already exists in BotFather -- focus is on getting it working with better-telegram-mcp. ## Steps 1. **Verify connection status**: - `config(action="status")` to check current bot token and connection state - If status shows "not configured", the user needs to set `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` env var and restart the MCP server (token is NOT runtime-configurable) 2. **Test send to obtain chat_id**: - `chat(action="list")` to see known chats - If no chats appear, instruct user to send any message to the bot first (the bot must receive at least one message to discover chat_id) - Send test: `message(action="send", chat_id="<id>", text="Connection test")` 3. **Diagnose errors** using the flowchart below ## Error Diagnosis Flowchart ``` Send fails | +-- HTTP 403 "Forbidden: bot was blocked by the user" | -> User blocked the bot.
