telegraph-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/telegraph/SKILL.md

telegraph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from telegraphprotocol/telegraph-mcp. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,078 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A service for getting AI-generated answers through a network where different providers compete to supply and verify each result. It covers tasks such as weather forecasts, climate data, deepfake detection, text generation, image generation, and embeddings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query weather and climate information, detect AI-made content or deepfakes, generate text or images, create embeddings, and monitor signals in areas such as politics or technology.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a way to request AI results with checks on their reliability, instead of depending on one unverified provider. Some requests use USDC payments.

This is telegraphprotocol/telegraph-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on telegraph-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything telegraph-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

telegraph scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Telegraph

Telegraph is a network of miners (APIs and models run by different people) that answer questions by intent. Every epoch the network checks each intent's miners and ranks them, and an ask goes to the best-ranked live miner. Asks are paid in USDC, usually $0.01.

Tools

Tool Cost Use it to
telegraph_ask ~$0.01 Ask a question. Optional intent and params make it exact
telegraph_ask_miner that miner's price Ask one miner the user chose, or call one of its endpoints directly
telegraph_find_intents free Find the intent for a kind of question
telegraph_intent free See an intent's kind, params, answer fields and top miners
telegraph_find_miners free List an intent's miners with rank, score and price, or search miners by words
telegraph_ranking free The latest ranking for an intent, or for all
telegraph_account free Wallet USDC and ETH, and the escrow balance
telegraph_deposit gas Move wallet USDC into escrow. Confirm the amount with the user first
telegraph_docs free How payments, intents, ranking and errors work

How to use it

  • A plain question is enough: telegraph_ask(question="What is the BTC price in USD?"). The node finds the intent and the miner.
  • To be exact, find the intent and its params first, then ask with them: telegraph_find_intents(search="weather") → telegraph_intent(intent="WEATHER_CHECK_TEMPERATURE") → telegraph_ask(intent="WEATHER_CHECK_TEMPERATURE", params={"location": "Lahore"}).
  • The answer comes back in the intent's fields (answer), with the miner that answered and the payment receipt. Tell the user which miner answered.
  • An intent with no ranking yet is answered by one of the miners that declare it. telegraph_intent says when that is the case.

Payments

  • Escrow first: if the wallet has a Telegraph escrow balance, each ask is signed against it and deducted at the epoch close. A failed ask is never billed.
  • x402 fallback: otherwise the ask is paid from the wallet's USDC. If it then fails, the amount is credited to the user's escrow.
  • telegraph_account shows the balances. telegraph_deposit tops up escrow, but only after the user confirms the amount.
  • The private key stays in the MCP server's process. It never appears in tool inputs, outputs or model context.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
