Create a Telegram bot via BotFather, get your chat ID, configure Cloudflare secrets (BOT_TOKEN and optional DEFAULT_CHAT_ID), deploy to Cloudflare Workers, then add the server to Claude Code using the CLI with SSE transport. Usage is through the send_telegram_message tool, which accepts text (required), chat_id (optional), parse_mode (optional), and disable_notification (optional) parameters.
