Problem

When using Claude Code primarily through the Telegram MCP plugin, tool permission prompts are only displayed in the local terminal — they never reach the Telegram chat. This means a user interacting solely via Telegram has no way to approve or deny tool calls that require permission.

Reproduction

  1. Start a Claude Code session with the Telegram MCP plugin active
  2. From Telegram, ask Claude to run a command that requires permission (e.g., a Python script)
  3. Claude Code shows the permission prompt in the terminal
  4. The Telegram user sees nothing — the request silently stalls or times out

Expected behavior

When a permission prompt is triggered during a Telegram-initiated interaction, the user should be notified in Telegram that a tool call is awaiting approval, ideally with the ability to approve/deny from there.

Impact

This effectively breaks the remote/mobile workflow. If the user isn't at their terminal, any non-auto-approved tool call becomes a dead end.
