Announcing the Slack MCP and Skills Plugin

We're excited to introduce the Slack MCP and Skills Plugin for AI tools, which bundles a set of skills that help you develop on the Slack platform alongside the Slack MCP Server. The plugin is currently available for Claude Code and Cursor.

Installing the plugin sets up two things:

  • Skills. Focused sets of instructions and references that your assistant loads automatically when a task calls for them. The plugin includes skills for Block Kit, scaffolding new apps, calling Web API methods, using the Slack CLI, composing messages, and searching Slack.
  • Slack MCP Server connection. The Slack MCP server lets you and your agent interact directly with your Slack workspace, such as searching channels, sending messages, and managing canvases.

Install the plugin in Claude Code with /plugin install slack@claude-plugins-official, or from the Cursor Marketplace.
