If you've gone through the flow of the Add to Cursor button above, you do not need to follow these steps.

Step 2: Navigate to the MCP tab

In the Settings interface, click on the MCP tab to access MCP server configurations.

Step 3: Add Slack MCP configuration

Add the following configuration to connect to the remote Slack MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slack": {

      "auth": {
