What is the Slack Bot MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire workspace communication on Slack, the leading platform for team collaboration. By connecting your Slack bot to your agent, you transform complex workspace management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your channels, audit message history, and send updates without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are a community manager or a project lead, your agent acts as a real-time coordinator, ensuring your team is always informed and your communication data is organized.
What you can do
- Conversation Auditing — List all public channels in your workspace and retrieve detailed metadata, including purpose and topics.
- Messaging Intelligence — Send and delete messages in any channel, and retrieve recent message history for real-time monitoring.
- User Administration — Query workspace member lists, check user profiles, and monitor real-time presence (active/away).
- Channel Governance — Autonomously join or leave public channels to keep your bot's scope relevant and efficient.
- Operational Monitoring — Quickly retrieve detailed channel and user information to maintain strict organizational control.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Slack Bot Token?
Log in to the Slack App Console, select your App, go to OAuth & Permissions, and copy the 'Bot User OAuth Token'. Paste it below.
Can the agent check if a user is active?
Yes. Use the get_presence tool providing the User ID. Your agent will return the real-time presence status (active or away) for that specific user.
Is it possible to retrieve message history via the agent?
Yes. The get_history tool allows your agent to fetch recent messages from any channel, helping you audit conversations or monitor specific updates.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
