Telegram Bot to Manage Headless Claude Code Channels via tmux
Claude Code recently added an experimental Channels feature that lets you chat with Claude directly in Telegram. The catch: it requires a persistent terminal session. If you run Claude Code on a headless server, SSH-ing in just to restart it gets old fast.
Developer Yury Gagarin built a small Telegram bot to manage Claude Code Channels sessions on a remote Linux server. The bot (Python, stdlib only — zero external dependencies) wraps Claude Code in a tmux session and exposes Telegram commands:
/launch– start Claude Code Channels in a new tmux session/stop– kill the tmux session/restart– stop then launch/status– check if Claude is running/logs– tail recent output
The bot includes a watchdog that notifies you (or auto-restarts) if the Claude process dies. It’s designed to run persistently on a home server, controlled entirely from your phone via Telegram.
Repo: github.com/gagarinyury/claude-channels-launcher
Who it’s for: developers who run Claude Code on a headless Linux server and want to manage it from Telegram without SSH.
