Questions
What is the Slack MCP server?
Put your agent inside your Slack. Zero bots, zero admin queues, no Business+ upgrade — 20+ tools for stealth search, thread parsing and mention tracking. Every message attributed. Your session never leaves your Mac.
What tools does Slack expose?
26 in total: 22 read-only, 2 that write, and 2 that can delete or overwrite (slack_refresh_tokens, slack_remove_reaction). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Slack safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (54/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 2 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.
What credentials does Slack need?
It reads CF_TERRAFORM_TOKEN, CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, SLACK_API_KEY, SLACK_COOKIE, SLACK_MCP_AUTH_TEST_URL, SLACK_MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN, SLACK_MCP_KEYCHAIN_TIMEOUT_MS, SLACK_MCP_TOKEN_STORAGE and SLACK_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Slack run?
It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as slack-browser-ops-worker at 5.1.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (3b0ff676e655), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
