Anthropic Adds Messaging Support For Claude Code

Late yesterday, Anthropic announced messaging support for Claude Code, enabling users to connect a Mac-hosted Claude Code session from mobile via Telegram and Discord bots as a research preview. The setup requires following Anthropic's GitHub steps, installing Bun, adding the Telegram plugin, starting Claude with the channels flag, and optionally using --dangerously-skip-permissions; the author used it to run builds, compile 83 Readwise items, and transcribe podcasts remotely.
Key Points
- 1Adds messaging connectivity via Telegram and Discord bots to Claude Code macOS sessions
- 2Enables remote execution of Mac-only developer tools like xcodebuild, Readwise CLI, and transcription workflows
- 3Allows practitioners to trigger builds, transcriptions, and file outputs remotely, but requires permissions and setup
Scoring Rationale
Official, practical feature that enables remote developer workflows; limited novelty as an incremental research-preview product update.
