In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, linting, formatting, or configuring the nomos-slack-mcp TypeScript project.

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

nomos-slack-mcp 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 8d 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 Overview

nomos-slack-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents interact with Slack as the user (not as a bot). It uses user tokens (xoxp-) so messages, reactions, and status updates appear exactly as if typed by the user. Supports multiple Slack workspaces with independent authentication.

Commands

pnpm build            # Compile TypeScript → dist/
pnpm dev              # TypeScript watch mode
pnpm start            # Run compiled server: node dist/src/index.js
pnpm check            # Type-check without emitting (tsc --noEmit)
pnpm lint             # ESLint src/ scripts/
pnpm lint:fix         # ESLint with --fix
pnpm format           # Prettier write all files
pnpm format:check     # Prettier check only
pnpm validate         # check + lint + format:check (run before committing)
pnpm add-workspace    # Interactive CLI to add a Slack workspace (OAuth or manual token)

Pre-commit hooks (husky + lint-staged) auto-fix lint and format on staged .ts, .js, .json, .yml, .yaml, .md files.

Architecture

Transport: stdio (stdin/stdout) — no network listener for MCP communication.

Key layers:

  • src/index.ts — MCP server entry point. Initializes config, client manager, registers tools, connects stdio transport.
  • src/config/config-manager.ts — Reads/writes workspace config from ~/.nomos/slack/config.json (0600 permissions). Validates xoxp- tokens only.
  • src/slack/client-manager.ts — Manages per-workspace WebClient instances. Caches channel and user maps with 5-minute TTL. Resolves #channel-name, @username, or raw IDs to Slack channel IDs.
  • src/slack/formatters.ts — Converts Slack API responses to LLM-friendly text (timestamps, user mention resolution, attachments).
  • src/oauth/ — OAuth 2.0 flow with temporary local HTTPS server (self-signed cert) on localhost:8934 for callback. CSRF via state parameter.
  • src/tools/ — 10 MCP tools (list-workspaces, list-channels, read-messages, read-thread, send-message, reply-thread, search, list-users, set-status, react). Each exports a schema and execute function.
  • scripts/add-workspace.ts — CLI for workspace setup (OAuth or manual token entry), validates via auth.test API.

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.
