Related docs:

- Gateway configuration: [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)
## Common commands
```bash
moltbot channels list
moltbot channels status
moltbot channels capabilities
moltbot channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
moltbot channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
moltbot channels logs --channel all
```
## Add / remove accounts
```bash
moltbot channels add --channel telegram --token <bot-token>
moltbot channels remove --channel telegram --delete
```
Tip: `moltbot channels add --help` shows per-channel flags (token, app token, signal-cli paths, etc).
## Login / logout (interactive)
```bash
moltbot channels login --channel whatsapp
moltbot channels logout --channel whatsapp
```
## Troubleshooting
- Run `moltbot status --deep` for a broad probe.
- Use `moltbot doctor` for guided fixes.
- `moltbot channels list` prints `Claude: HTTP 403 ... user:profile` → usage snapshot needs the `user:profile` scope. Use `--no-usage`, or provide a claude.ai session key (`CLAUDE_WEB_SESSION_KEY` / `CLAUDE_WEB_COOKIE`), or re-auth via Claude Code CLI.
## Capabilities probe
Fetch provider capability hints (intents/scopes where available) plus static feature support:
```bash
moltbot channels capabilities
moltbot channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
```
Notes:
- `--channel` is optional; omit it to list every channel (including extensions).
- `--target` accepts `channel:<id>` or a raw numeric channel id and only applies to Discord.
- Probes are provider-specific: Discord intents + optional channel permissions; Slack bot + user scopes; Telegram bot flags + webhook; Signal daemon version; MS Teams app token + Graph roles/scopes (annotated where known). Channels without probes report `Probe: unavailable`.
## Resolve names to IDs
Resolve channel/user names to IDs using the provider directory:
```bash
moltbot channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
moltbot channels resolve --channel discord "My Server/#support" "@someone"
moltbot channels resolve --channel matrix "Project Room"
```
Notes:
- Use `--kind user|group|auto` to force the target type.
- Resolution prefers active matches when multiple entries share the same name.
