This plugin connects Claude Code (and Cursor) to a user's Slack workspace so the assistant can search messages, read channels and threads, and help with team communication while coding. According to the README, it works through Slack's hosted MCP server and adds six on-demand skills covering messaging, search, the Slack Web API, the Slack CLI, app creation with Bolt, and Block Kit layout building. It also ships five slash commands for tasks like summarizing a channel, finding discussions on a topic, drafting announcements, generating standup updates, and digesting activity across multiple channels. First use requires OAuth authentication to the workspace, and the README notes that a workspace admin must approve the MCP integration before that authentication can happen.
