What is Slack MCP Server, in two sentences

Slack MCP Server is a reference MCP server for Slack — read channels, post messages, and manage threads from an agent. Open-source reference implementation of the Model Context Protocol for Slack.

About Slack MCP Server

Slack MCP Server is an MCP server that lets an agent read channels, post messages, and manage threads in Slack, built as an open-source reference implementation of the Model Context Protocol.

It runs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux through a command-line interface and is free to use with no paid tier.

It fits developers who want an MCP-compatible agent to work inside a Slack workspace and are willing to provision and manage their own Slack API credentials. Expect its reach to be bounded by that workspace's permissions and Slack's API rate limits.

As a reference implementation, it is a baseline Slack MCP connector rather than a packaged or managed one.
