   Add the Telegram MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:
   
   claude mcp add telegram -e TDLIB_API_ID=<TDLIB_API_ID> -e TDLIB_API_HASH=<TDLIB_API_HASH> -- docker run -i --rm -e TDLIB_API_ID -e TDLIB_API_HASH ghcr.io/tolboy/telegram-mcp-tdlib
   
   Ask me for TDLIB_API_ID, TDLIB_API_HASH and only put the values in that config, nowhere else.
   
   Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
