Telegram plugin: channel notifications not injected into session
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 22, 2026 by d3draw Closed Mar 25, 2026
Description
The official Telegram plugin (telegram@claude-plugins-official) successfully receives messages and sends notifications/claude/channel via MCP, but these notifications are never injected into the Claude Code session.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.81 (latest)
- OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
- Plugin: telegram@claude-plugins-official v0.0.1
- Transport: StdioServerTransport
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable the Telegram plugin (
enabledPlugins: { "telegram@claude-plugins-official": true }) - Pair with a Telegram bot and send a message
- Observe that the message never appears in the Claude Code session
Evidence
The plugin debug log (/tmp/telegram-debug.log) shows:
[2026-03-22T07:34:52.322Z] sending notification: {"method":"notifications/claude/channel","params":{"content":"하이","meta":{"chat_id":"...","message_id":"1000","user":"d3draw","user_id":"...","ts":"2026-03-22T07:34:51.000Z"}}}
[2026-03-22T07:34:52.322Z] notification sent OK
- Messages are received by the bot ✅
mcp.notification()resolves successfully (stdout write OK) ✅- Notification appears in Claude Code session ❌
Analysis
- The plugin registers
experimental: { 'claude/channel': {} }as a capability (server.ts:349) mcp.notification()writes to stdout viaStdioServerTransportand resolves — but this only confirms the write to stdout buffer, not that Claude Code read or processed it- Multiple session restarts have not resolved the issue
- Manual tool calls (e.g.,
reply,react) work fine — only the notification/injection path is broken
Expected Behavior
When a Telegram message arrives and the plugin sends notifications/claude/channel, the message should be injected into the active Claude Code session as a <channel source="telegram" ...> tag.
Actual Behavior
Notifications are silently dropped. The session never receives the message. No error is logged on either side.
