The Slack MCP is a **managed MCP hosted by Webrix** with Slack's security: - **OAuth Authentication**: Connect securely through Slack's official OAuth flow - **Bot Token Support**: Alternatively, use a bot token for app integrations - **Scoped Permissions**: Control access to channels, messages, users, etc. - **Channel Access**: Only accessible channels based on granted permissions **Best practices**: Use OAuth with minimal scopes, be careful with chat:write.public scope, and avoid posting sensitive information in public channels.

Getting started with the Slack MCP: 1. **Connect your workspace**: Authenticate via Slack OAuth or provide a bot token 2. **Grant permissions**: Select scopes for channels, chat, users 3. **Start communicating**: Ask your AI assistant to post messages or read channels **Example prompts**: - "List all public channels" - "Post 'Deployment complete!' to #engineering" - "Get the last 10 messages from #general" - "Find the channel ID for 'sales-team'" - "Show me all users in the workspace"
