# Slack MCP server

MCP server for Slack workspace integration. Handles channel creation, user invites, message posting, and thread management.

## Setup

### 1. Create a Slack app

1. Go to [api.slack.com/apps](https://api.slack.com/apps)
2. Click "Create New App" → "From scratch"
3. Name it (e.g., "Claude MCP") and select your workspace

### 2. Add OAuth scopes

Under "OAuth & Permissions", add these Bot Token Scopes:

```
channels:manage        # create public channels
groups:write           # create private channels
channels:read          # list channels
groups:read            # read private channels
chat:write             # post messages
pins:write             # pin messages
users:read             # list users
users:read.email       # lookup users by email
```

### 3. Install to workspace

Click "Install to Workspace" and authorize the app.

### 4. Get bot token

Copy the "Bot User OAuth Token" (starts with `xoxb-`).

### 5. Configure environment

```bash
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="xoxb-your-token-here"
```

Or add to your Claude config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slack": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/slack-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SLACK_BOT_TOKEN": "xoxb-your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

npm install
npm run build
npm start
```
