Connect Telegram to Claude Code

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Claude Code reads your unread Telegram chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Claude Code searches your Telegram history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Claude Code writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Telegram account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

   Ask Claude Code about your Telegram

   Open a new conversation in Claude Code and ask about your chats. Claude Code calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• Telegram in ConnectChats

  Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Private chats and groups are supported. Secret chats are not, because Telegram keeps them only on the device where they were started. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions. ConnectChats shows up as an active session in Telegram under Settings, Devices, where you can end it at any time. The free plan links 2 chat apps and keeps messages for 30 days.

• ConnectChats in Claude Code

  Claude Code adds remote MCP servers with one command. Add ConnectChats, sign in once with your passkey, and you can ask Claude Code about your chats without leaving the terminal. The --scope user option makes ConnectChats available in every project. Leave it out to add it to the current project only. Claude Code needs a Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan, or an Anthropic Console account. Tokens refresh on their own. To sign out, open /mcp and choose Clear authentication, or run claude mcp logout connectchats. Sign in once in an interactive session. Scripts and headless runs reuse the saved sign-in but cannot complete it.

• You pick the chats

  Claude Code only sees the Telegram chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  Claude Code prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Telegram, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
