What is the Slack MCP server?

Most team communication work still happens through a UI a human drives. Slack MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Slack Enterprise MCP server. Tools: send message, search messages, list channels. Built by M...

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:

  • Well — documented API
  • Production-ready — Active maintenance
  • Pro — ** $99/mo — Full MCP suite + EU AI Act tracking
  • Enterprise — ** $499/mo — Custom dev + SLA + Dedicated support
  • Domain — Purpose
  • Tier — Price

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Slack's toolset — Well, Production-ready, Pro and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by CSOAI-ORG; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Slack's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
