Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

slack-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Scope

Session-based Slack MCP server. Works with any MCP client via stdio transport, or via hosted HTTP for browser-based clients.

Build and Run

npm install
npm start                      # MCP server on stdio
npm run web                    # REST API + Web UI (localhost:3000)
npm run tokens:auto            # Auto-extract from Chrome (macOS)
npm run tokens:status          # Check token health

Installation Paths

npx -y @jtalk22/slack-mcp      # package entrypoint
docker pull ghcr.io/jtalk22/slack-mcp-server:latest

MCP Tools (19 total)

Slack reads (12):

Tool Purpose
slack_health_check Verify token validity and show workspace info
slack_token_status Token age, health, cache stats
slack_refresh_tokens Auto-extract fresh tokens from Chrome (macOS)
slack_list_conversations List DMs and channels with resolved names
slack_conversations_history Get messages from a channel or DM
slack_get_full_conversation Export full history with threads
slack_search_messages Search across workspace
slack_get_thread Get thread replies
slack_users_info Get user details
slack_list_users List workspace users (paginated, 500+)
slack_users_search Search by name, display name, or email
slack_conversations_unreads Channels/DMs with unread messages

Slack writes (4): slack_send_message, slack_add_reaction, slack_remove_reaction, slack_conversations_mark — all carry MCP destructive safety annotation.

Workflow primitives (2): slack_workflow_save, slack_workflows — bind a workflow_kind (incident_room, exec_brief, support_inbox, product_launch_watch, custom) to channels + priority people + retention + cadence. Stored locally at ~/.slack-mcp-workflows.json.

Local catch-up (1): slack_catch_me_up — reads a saved profile's scope and returns structured evidence (lib/catch-up.js). There are no hosted upgrade stubs in the package since 5.0.0; every advertised tool runs locally.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
