About Slack MCP
Read channels, post messages and search history via the Slack API.
Slack MCP is a Communication MCP server designed for support leads, sales, founders, and operators. It enables letting AI assistants triage, summarise, and act on messages by exposing inbox, channel, and message-send operations as MCP tools. Key capabilities include inbox and channel search, thread summarisation, draft and send-with-confirmation flows, and structured tool calls that work cleanly inside an LLM context. It integrates with Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and Telegram, and is best suited for support leads, sales, founders, and operators who need inbox triage and daily summaries.
