korotovsky/slack-mcp-server

korotovsky/slack-mcp-server is an MIT-licensed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Slack that exposes DMs, Group DMs, channels, Apps, and GovSlack with no permission requirements and a smart history-fetch logic, so AI agents and coding assistants can read, search, and act on Slack workspaces through a single MCP endpoint without the OAuth app-approval dance that blocks most agent-to-Slack inte

Why it matters

Useful for AI builders, IT admins, and platform engineers who need a clean MCP bridge between a coding agent and a real Slack workspace, because korotovsky/slack-mcp-server ships the full DMs/channels/Apps surface with GovSlack support and no per-channel permission prompts, which means an agent can read and act on Slack without the OAuth token-by-token approval loop that makes other Slack integrat

Who should skip it

Skip or sandbox it if you cannot review permissions, data access, and failure modes before use.

Risk explanation

It exposes the full Slack surface (DMs, channels, Apps, GovSlack) via MCP, so audit the workspace-token scope, lock the server down to the channels the agent actually needs, and never point it at a production or GovSlack workspace without a manual review step in front of any message-send action.
