Post to Telegram from Claude

Attach PostWharf to Claude once, then publish or schedule Telegram channel posts, media and albums by asking for them — and get a receipt saying what actually landed.

Connect it

A command for Claude Code, or a connect link for the Claude apps. One workspace key scopes every call to a single brand, so Claude can only ever reach the accounts in that workspace — not every account you run.

Ask for a Telegram post

Once the server is attached the ask is a chat message, not a form — in whatever conversation you are already having, next to the draft rather than in another tab:

"Send this release summary to the announcements channel with the changelog link."

Claude finds your connected Telegram channel, checks the text against the 4,096-character ceiling before anything is queued, and hands back the queued time. Nothing publishes because a model decided it should.

Claude will show you the post before it queues it. That is the approval step, and it is worth keeping even once you trust the setup — the receipt tells you what published, but only you can tell it what was worth publishing.

What Telegram accepts

Posts go to channels you administer through a bot token you create and control.

What comes back

Every post carries a delivery receipt per channel: the state, the live URL once it is out, and the platform's own reason if it failed. Deliveries are re-checked after publishing, so a Telegram post removed later stops reporting as live instead of sitting in your history as a success. Ask Claude for the status and it reads that receipt back rather than guessing.

Questions

Can Claude post to Telegram automatically?

Yes. Connect the PostWharf MCP server to Claude and it can publish or schedule to a connected Telegram channel, then read the delivery receipt back. The workspace key limits it to the accounts in one workspace, and you keep the approval step.

What do I need before Telegram will work?

Posts go to channels you administer through a bot token you create and control. Once the channel is connected in PostWharf, Claude reaches it the same way it reaches every other network.

How long can a Telegram post be?

4,096 characters, counted on one message. PostWharf checks that before the post is queued, so an over-length post is refused immediately rather than failing at Telegram after everything else in the same batch has already published.
