Quick start

Register the postqueen MCP server once and Telegram scheduling becomes a tool Claude Code can call. The plain CLI works too.

MCP supported
Terminal
# Add the postqueen MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http postqueen \
  https://api.postqueen.ai/mcp/YOUR_API_KEY
 
# Then ask in your session:
# "Queue three Telegram messages for this
#  week, mornings at 9"

What Claude Code can run on Telegram

Telegram tools in your terminal

Over MCP, scheduling and analytics show up as first-class tools. Over the CLI, every command returns JSON that Claude Code can chain reliably for Telegram.

Windows that fit Telegram

Tell Claude Code when your channels and groups are busiest and it schedules messages into that window on Telegram, day after day, without reminders.

The right channels and groups, every time

Claude Code lists your connected channels and groups before it posts, so messages land exactly where they should and announcements stay consistent.

Drafts until you are ready

Ask Claude Code for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your subscribers on Telegram until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Telegram

Claude Code calls postqueen to list your connected channels and groups and sees what Telegram supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.

Step 2

Draft with Claude Code

Give it the brief. The agent writes Telegram-shaped messages and proposes publish times that match when your subscribers are around.

Step 3

Check and publish

Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Claude Code can pull the results after.

What Telegram allows

Claude Code reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions

How does Claude Code connect Telegram to postqueen?

Over MCP, registered once in Claude Code's own config so the Telegram tools are there in every session. It also runs commands, so the CLI covers the same Telegram messages when you would rather script them; both use the same API key.

Can Claude Code schedule Telegram messages at exact times?

Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the messages it creates, keeping your channels and groups active on a steady rhythm.

Will Claude Code publish to Telegram on its own?

Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the messages wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.

Can one brief cover Telegram and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Claude Code can turn the same brief into Telegram messages plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.

Does Claude Code access cost extra on postqueen?

No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.

Can I post to both channels and groups?

Yes. Connect any mix of channels and groups and choose destinations per post. The same queue can feed a public channel and a private discussion group.

Why did my Telegram post fail?

The usual causes: the bot lost its admin rights, it was removed from the channel, or a file exceeded the Bot API's 50 MB send limit. postqueen marks failed posts so you can fix the cause and retry.
