This is a read-only Telegram client for monitoring financial channels and crypto groups without leaving Claude. It wraps tdl, a CLI tool, to list your chats, export message history, and search channels by name. The setup walks you through QR code login, then you can pull the last N messages or filter by time range and ID. All exports come back as JSON with message text, timestamps, and metadata. No sending, no joining channels, just surveillance. If you're tracking market news across a dozen Telegram channels or need to grep through signal groups for research, this beats tabbing between apps.
