Connect Slack to Claude Code

What you need:

• A Slack account
• Your Slack admin's approval

Plan: A Claude Code login.

1. In a Claude Code session, run /plugin install slack.
2. Sign in to your Slack workspace when it asks.

Test it: Ask: sum up yesterday in one Slack channel I name. (A read question only.)

What it can do: Search and read messages, channels and files.

What it can't do: It can also post. Use it to read only. Keep every post on ask first, or don't connect it.

Read only for us. It can post, so deny the send tools or keep them on ask first.

Never paste an API key into a chat. Use the app's connector screen.
