Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Slack MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Put your own value in place of <SLACK_WORKSPACE_URL> (Your Slack workspace URL (e.g., https://your-company.slack.com). Required for generating message links). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: SLACK_USER_TOKEN (Slack User OAuth Token (starts with xoxp-). Get from https://api.slack.com/apps), SLACK_BOT_TOKEN (Slack Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-). Alternative to user token).

Slack MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Slack MCP Server?

Slack MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package slack-mcp-server-v2 was installed 78 times last week.

How do I connect Slack MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls slack-mcp-server-v2 straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Slack MCP Server?

The pypi package slack-mcp-server-v2 was installed 78 times in the last week. Week over week that is -19%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Slack MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
