:heavy_exclamation_mark: This project builds a local, read-only MCP server. For fully remote MCP access, check out the first managed MCP platform: CData Connect AI. For locally hosted, full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities and a simplified setup, check out our CData MCP Server for Slack. ## Purpose We created this read-only MCP Server to allow LLMs (like Claude Desktop) to query live data Slack supported by the CData JDBC Driver for Slack.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:
slack_get_tables — The slack_get_tables tool exposed by this serverslack_get_columns — The slack_get_columns tool exposed by this serverslack_run_query — The slack_run_query tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
Communication servers earn their keep on volume — summarising channels and threads that would otherwise cost you an hour of scrollback. Slack By Cdata sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — slack_get_tables, slack_get_columns, slack_run_query — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other communication servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| slack_get_tables | The slack_get_tables tool exposed by this server. |
| slack_get_columns | The slack_get_columns tool exposed by this server. |
| slack_run_query | The slack_run_query tool exposed by this server. |
