Slack MCP server FAQ

What is the best Slack MCP server?

Based on GitHub stars and recent activity, slack-mcp-server by korotovsky (★ 1.9k, updated 2 months ago) is the most popular actively maintained option on HookMCP, followed by TrendRadar and pipeshub-ai. The right choice depends on whether you need write access, a hosted (remote) endpoint, or a server that runs locally without an API key.

Is there an official Slack MCP server?

We haven't found a vendor-published Slack server yet; the community servers below are the most popular alternatives.

How do I install a Slack MCP server in Claude, Cursor or VS Code?

Open the server's page on HookMCP, choose your client tab (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code) and copy the config — 2 of the 5 servers here have one-click install links for Cursor and VS Code. Restart your AI app and the new tools appear automatically.

Do Slack MCP servers need an API key?
