What is the Slack MCP Server?

Slack MCP without OAuth — 21 tools, session-based, local-first. Free OSS + hosted tier from $19/mo.

The short version

Turn Slack from an interruption stream into searchable operating memory and approved action. The open-source local path ships 21 tools today through the browser session you already have—no Slack app, scope review, or admin queue. Hosted adds permanent OAuth, indexing, scheduled intelligence, and team continuity when the workflow must run without you.
