mcp-slack-crunchtools 0.1.0

Secure read-only MCP server for Slack workspaces

mcp-slack-crunchtools

Secure read-only MCP server for Slack workspaces. Provides Claude Code (and other MCP clients) with access to your Slack channels, messages, users, and files without any write permissions.

Features

• Read-only: 15 tools, all read-only. Never posts, edits, or deletes anything.
• Secure: 6-layer security model (input validation, token handling, client hardening, output sanitization, runtime protection, supply chain security).
• User OAuth Token: Uses xoxp- tokens for user-scoped access to your workspace.
• No SDK dependency: Uses httpx directly for minimal, auditable HTTP calls.
