 ### 5. Add MCP Server to Claude

-#### Option A: Auto-Generate Config (Easiest)
+> **✨ Auto-Start Feature:** The MCP server now automatically starts the Telegram bridge when needed - no need to run it separately!

+#### Option A: Claude Code CLI (Recommended)
+
+> **Note:** Using `claude mcp add` automatically adds the server **globally** (available in all projects). This is the recommended approach.
+
+**For Mac and Linux:**
 ```bash
-cd innervoice
-./scripts/get-mcp-config.sh
+# Navigate to the innervoice directory
+cd /path/to/innervoice
+
+# Add the MCP server globally (available in all projects)
+claude mcp add --transport stdio telegram \
+  --env TELEGRAM_BRIDGE_URL=http://localhost:3456 \
+  -- node "$(pwd)/dist/mcp-server.js"
+
+# Verify it was added globally
+claude mcp list
 ```

-Copy the output to your MCP config file.
+**For Windows (PowerShell):**
+```powershell
+# Navigate to the innervoice directory
+cd C:\path\to\innervoice

-#### Option B: Manual Setup
+# Add the MCP server globally
+claude mcp add --transport stdio telegram `
+  --env TELEGRAM_BRIDGE_URL=http://localhost:3456 `
+  -- node "$((Get-Location).Path)\dist\mcp-server.js"

-Add to your Claude Code MCP settings (`~/.config/claude-code/settings/mcp.json`):
+# Verify it was added
+claude mcp list
+```
+
+**For Windows (Command Prompt):**
+```cmd
+# Navigate to the innervoice directory
+cd C:\path\to\innervoice
+
+# Add the MCP server globally
+claude mcp add --transport stdio telegram --env TELEGRAM_BRIDGE_URL=http://localhost:3456 -- node "%CD%\dist\mcp-server.js"
+
+# Verify it was added
+claude mcp list
+```
+

+**Windows:** `%USERPROFILE%\.claude.json`

+### 7. AFK Mode - Control Your Notifications
+
+Use the `/afk` slash command to toggle notifications on/off:
+
+```bash
+# In Claude Code, just type:
+/afk
+```
+
+This is perfect for:
+- **Enabling** when you step away from your computer (get notified via Telegram)
+- **Disabling** when you're actively working (no interruptions)
+
+The toggle state is preserved while the bridge is running, and you'll get a Telegram message confirming each change.
+
+### 8. Verify Global Setup
+
+After adding the MCP server, verify it's available globally:
+
+```bash
+# Check that telegram appears in the list
+claude mcp list
+
+# Should show:
+# ✓ telegram: Connected
+```
+
+**Troubleshooting:** If `telegram` only appears in one project but not others, it was added to a project-specific config instead of globally. To fix:
+
+1. Open `~/.claude.json` in your editor
+2. Find the `telegram` server config under `projects` → `your-project-path` → `mcpServers`
+3. **Move it** to the root-level `mcpServers` section (same level as other global servers)
+4. Remove the `telegram` entry from the project-specific section
+
+**Example structure:**
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "telegram": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["/path/to/innervoice/dist/mcp-server.js"],

+  "projects": {
+    "/your/project/path": {
