Set up the Telegram channel — save the bot token and review access policy. Use when the user pastes a Telegram bot token, asks to configure Telegram, asks "how do I set this up" or "who can reach me," or wants to check channel status.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /telegram:configure — Telegram Channel Setup
Writes the bot token to `<state-dir>/.env` and orients the user on access
policy. The server reads both files at boot.
**Resolve the state directory first** (it may be overridden for multi-bot or
per-project setups):
```bash
echo "${TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR:-${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/channels/telegram}"
```
Use the printed path everywhere below in place of `<state-dir>`. The default
is `~/.claude/channels/telegram`.

## Dispatch on arguments
### No args — status and guidance
Read both state files and give the user a complete picture:
1. **Token** — check `<state-dir>/.env` for
`TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`. Show set/not-set; if set, show first 10 chars masked
(`123456789:...`).
2. **Access** — read `<state-dir>/access.json` (missing file
= defaults: `dmPolicy: "pairing"`, empty allowlist). Show:
- DM policy and what it means in one line
- Allowed senders: count, and list display names or IDs
- Pending pairings: count, with codes and display names if any
3. **What next** — end with a concrete next step based on state:

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.1e96c6b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
