      "notes": "Slack's own MCP server went GA Feb 17, 2026 (streamable HTTP at https://mcp.slack.com/mcp, OAuth). No stdio one-liner is published because it's a hosted, permissioned connector. A well-known community alternative, korotovsky/slack-mcp-server (~1.6k GitHub stars, MIT, not an official Slack product), supports stdio/SSE/HTTP with bot or browser-session tokens and no app-install requirement if a stdio option is preferred."
