The Slack MCP Server connects Claude Code to your Slack workspace, enabling you to read channel messages, search conversations, list channels, and post messages or replies. It is useful for gathering context from team discussions, summarizing channel activity, and automating status updates without switching between tools. The server uses Slack Bot tokens with configurable permissions so you control exactly what Claude can access.
