# Slack Setup via MCP
## 1. Create a Slack App
Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and click "Create New App".
Choose "From scratch". Give it a name and select your workspace.
## 2. Add Bot Token Scopes
Navigate to "OAuth & Permissions" in the sidebar.
Under "Bot Token Scopes", add:
- `chat:write` - post messages
- `channels:read` - list channels
- `channels:history` - read messages (if needed)
## 3. Install to workspace
Click "Install to Workspace" at the top of the OAuth & Permissions page.
Authorize. Copy the "Bot User OAuth Token" (starts with `xoxb-`).
## 4. Add to .mcp.json
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"slack": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-slack"],
"env": {
"SLACK_BOT_TOKEN": "xoxb-your-token-here",
"SLACK_TEAM_ID": "T0123456789"
}
}
}
}
```
Find your Team ID in the Slack URL when logged into the web app:
`https://app.slack.com/client/T0123456789/...`
Store the token in an environment variable rather than hardcoding it.
## 5. Test
Start Claude Code in your project directory. Try:
```
Send a message to #general saying "Claude Code Slack integration is working"
```
Claude will use the `slack_post_message` tool from the MCP server.
## Troubleshooting
- "not_in_channel": Invite the bot to the channel first (`/invite @your-bot-name`)
- Token not found: verify the env var is exported before launching Claude Code
