Slack Model Context Protocol Server

This is a connector to allow Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) to interact with your Slack workspace to post messages and query a list of all users.

Local Development

In order to run this client locally, add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop MCP Server config file:

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-slack-local": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/project/dist/index.js"], <---- replace this with your project path "env": { "SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN": "test-bot-token", "SLACK_TEAM_ID": "test-team-id" } }, } }

After this, you should be able to test this implementation in your Claude Desktop App using example prompts like:

  • "Can you list all users of my Slack team?"

  • "Can you send a welcome message to my Slack Channel with the ID <channel id>?"

Running the server locally:

node dist/index.js

With the build in another terminal

npm run watch
