Solo developers who use Claude with Slack and don't want to maintain infrastructure.
Engineers whose IT team won't approve the official Slack MCP app.
Freelancers working across multiple client workspaces.
Anyone who has screenshotted a Slack message to paste into Claude.
Why not just self-host?
You can. It's free, MIT-licensed, and it works. But there are trade-offs.
Self-hosted
Tokens expire silently
Session tokens are time-bounded. When they expire, your Claude workflow breaks mid-conversation. You re-extract from Chrome and try again.
Cloud
Tokens refresh automatically
Encrypted token storage with auto-refresh. Your endpoint stays live. You never touch Chrome DevTools again.
Official Slack MCP
Requires OAuth and admin approval
Slack's official MCP needs a Marketplace-approved app. Your IT team has to approve it. Enterprise-only.
Cloud
Works where OAuth can't
Session-based auth. No Marketplace listing, no admin approval, no IT ticket. Individual developers can start immediately.

Questions
How is this different from Slack's official MCP?
Slack's official MCP requires OAuth, a Marketplace-approved app, and admin approval. This server uses session-based auth. No approval needed. Works for individual devs in any workspace.
What are session tokens?
Session tokens (xoxc + xoxd) are the same credentials your browser uses when you're logged into Slack. They work without creating an OAuth app or getting admin approval.
Is my Slack data stored on your servers?
Tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Slack messages pass through for processing but are not stored. The AI compound tools (Team plan) analyze messages in-flight and return results without persistence.
Can I try before I pay?
The self-hosted server is free and includes all 16 standard tools. Cloud adds managed hosting, auto-refresh, and (on Team) AI compound tools.
Which MCP clients are supported?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any client that supports the MCP protocol over HTTP/SSE. The self-hosted version also supports stdio transport.
How is this different from other open-source Slack MCP servers?
Most open-source Slack MCP servers require you to self-host, manage your own tokens, and restart when tokens expire. This Cloud service eliminates all of that: one API key, auto-refreshing tokens, encrypted storage, and three AI compound tools that no self-hosted server offers.
What happens if I exceed my request limit?
Requests are rate-limited per plan (5,000/mo Solo, 25,000/mo Team). If you approach your limit, upgrade your plan or contact us for a custom quota. Overage requests return a clear rate-limit response — nothing breaks silently.
One config block. Full Slack access.
