## What this server does

Connect your AI assistant to Slack so it can read context from channels and post on your behalf. Use it to triage support requests, summarize threads, or draft replies you can send.

## Tools included

-   slack\_post\_message
    
    Post a message to a Slack channel.
    
-   slack\_list\_channels
    
    List channels in the workspace.
    
-   slack\_get\_channel\_history
    
    Read recent messages from a channel.
    
-   slack\_search\_messages
    
    Search the workspace's message history.
    

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

## Security notes

The bot token grants whatever scopes you set on the Slack app. Grant only the scopes you actually need (chat:write, channels:history, search:read). Rotate the token if it leaks. The original Anthropic reference server is archived and now maintained by Zencoder at zencoderai/slack-mcp-server.
