Story

Anthropic shipped Claude Code Channels on March 20 as a research preview (v2.1.80+). Send messages from Telegram or Discord; Claude Code picks them up on your local machine, executes, and replies through the same chat app. Built on MCP architecture with sender allow-lists. As paddo.dev argues, this is "platform-level absorption" — Anthropic is commoditizing the third-party remote-agent-control category.
