We currently support MCP server creation for:

• Slack

• Jira

  Slack

  Follow these steps to create and connect a Slack-based MCP server:

  1. Create a Slack App

  • Visit the Slack API Dashboard

  • Click Create New App

  • You have two options to configure your app:

    Option 1: From a Manifest

    This is the recommended way to configure your app quickly with predefined scopes.

    Example Manifest Permissions:

        display_information:
        name: Your_app_name
        oauth_config:
        scopes:
            user:
            - search:read
            - channels:history
            - channels:read
            - channels:write
            - channels:write.topic
            - groups:read
            - groups:write
            - im:history
            - im:read
            - im:write
            - links:read
            - links:write
            - mpim:history
            - mpim:write
            - users:read
            - users:read.email
            - groups:history
            - chat:write
        settings:
        org_deploy_enabled: false
        socket_mode_enabled: false
        token_rotation_enabled: false

    Option 2: From Scratch

    You can manually configure your Slack App and add all the required scopes one by one.

    Note: Make sure the app has all necessary permissions for reading messages and sending responses, as used by the MCP tools.

  • Select workspace in which you need to install your app.

  2. Install the App to Your Slack Workspace

  • In your Slack app settings, navigate to the "Install App" section in the left sidebar.
  • Click on Install App.

  3. Get the Slack User OAuth Token

  • After installing the app, generate and copy the User OAuth Token.
  • This token usually starts with xoxp-...
  • You'll need this token when creating the MCP server.

  4. Create MCP Server on the Platform

  • Navigate to the MCP Server in Left sidebar on platform and Click on Create MCP Server.

    

  • Select Slack as the integration type.

    

  • Paste the Slack user token you copied earlier.

    

  • Click "Connect" and create your MCP server.

  ⚠️ If you encounter any issues during the connection, please double-check that your API Key is valid.

  Once the MCP server is created, you'll receive:

  • A unique MCP Server URL

  • A sample configuration block to use in tools like Claude or Cursor.
