What is the Study Slack Remote MCP MCP server?

Study Slack Remote MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with Slack workspaces through OAuth 2.0 authentication.

What you get

  • 🔐 OAuth 2.0 Authentication: Secure Slack OAuth flow with automatic token management
  • 🚀 FastMCP Framework: Built with the official MCP SDK's FastMCP framework
  • 💾 Token Persistence: Tokens are saved locally or in DynamoDB for cloud deployments
  • 📱 Slack Integration: Post messages and list channels in Slack workspaces
  • 🔄 Dynamic Client Registration: Supports VSCode MCP extension and other clients
  • ☁️ GitHub + App Runner: Deploy directly from GitHub with AWS App Runner

What the assistant can call

Once Study Slack Remote MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • channel_id — Channel ID (required)
  • text — Message text (required)
  • Testing — The Testing tool exposed by this server
  • Debugging — Enable debug logging by checking server.log: bash tail -f server.log

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 3 environment variables: SLACK_CLIENT_ID, SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET, SERVICE_BASE_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • Python 3.11+ - Slack App with OAuth 2.0 configured - uv (Python package manager)

Choosing this one

Plenty of team communication servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Study Slack Remote MCP's toolset — channel_id, text, Testing and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by miyatsuki; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the study slack remote mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
