ReadWriteEdit

/slack-channel:access

Overview

Manage who can reach your Claude Code session through Slack. Controls DM pairing, user allowlists, and channel opt-in policies via a local access.json state file with strict file permissions.

Prerequisites

The slack-channel MCP plugin must be installed and configured (run /slack-channel:configure first)
State directory ~/.claude/channels/slack/ must exist (created by configure)
Write access to ~/.claude/channels/slack/access.json

Usage


/slack-channel:access pair <code>                          # Approve a pending pairing
/slack-channel:access policy <pairing|allowlist|disabled>   # Set DM policy
/slack-channel:access add <slack_user_id>                   # Add user to allowlist
/slack-channel:access remove <slack_user_id>                # Remove from allowlist
/slack-channel:access channel <channel_id> [--mention] [--allow <user_id,...>]  # Opt in a channel
/slack-channel:access channel remove <channel_id>           # Remove channel opt-in
/slack-channel:access status                                # Show current config

State File

~/.claude/channels/slack/access.json

Instructions

Parse $ARGUMENTS and execute the matching subcommand:

`pair`



Load access.json
Find the pending entry matching  (case-insensitive)

If not found or expired: show "No pending pairing with that code."
If found:


Add entry.senderId to allowFrom
Remove the pending entry
Save access.json with permissions 0o600
Show: Approved! User  can now DM this session.
Send a confirmation message to the user in Slack (via the reply tool if the MCP server is running)

policy 

Validate mode is one of: pairing, allowlist, disabled
Update dmPolicy in access.json
Save with 0o600
Show the new policy and what it means:


pairing: New DMs get a code to approve (default)
allowlist: Only pre-approved users can DM
disabled: No DMs accepted

add 

Add the Slack user ID to allowFrom (deduplicate)
Save with 0o600
Show confirmation

                  Configure Slack channel tokens (bot token + app-level token).

                  /slack-channel:configure
Overview
Configure the Slack channel MCP plugin by providing your Slack bot token and app-level token. Writes credentials to a secure .env file with owner-only permissions.
Prerequisites

A Slack app created at api.slack.com/apps with Socket Mode enabled
A Bot User OAuth Token (xoxb-...) from OAuth & Permissions
An App-Level Token (xapp-...) from Socket Mode settings
Write access to ~/.claude/channels/slack/

Usage

/slack-channel:configure <xoxb-bot-token> <xapp-app-token>

Instructions

Parse the two arguments from $ARGUMENTS:


First token must start with xoxb- (Bot User OAuth Token)
Second token must start with xapp- (App-Level Token)


If either token is missing or has the wrong prefix, show this error and stop:


   Error: Two tokens required.
     - Bot token (starts with xoxb-) from OAuth & Permissions
     - App token (starts with xapp-) from Socket Mode settings

   Usage: /slack-channel:configure xoxb-... xapp-...


Create the state directory if it doesn't exist:


   ~/.claude/channels/slack/


Write the .env file at ~/.claude/channels/slack/.env:


   SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=<bot-token>
   SLACK_APP_TOKEN=<app-token>


Set file permissions to owner-only:


   chmod 600 ~/.claude/channels/slack/.env


Confirm success:


   Slack channel configured.

   Start Claude with the Slack channel:
     claude --channels plugin:slack-channel@claude-code-plugins

   Or for development:
     claude --dangerously-load-development-channels server:slack

Security

Never echo the tokens back in the confirmation message
Never log tokens to stdout or any file other than .env
Always set 0o600 permissions on the .env file

Output
On success, displays:

Slack channel configured.

Start Claude with the Slack channel:
  claude --channels plugin:slack-channel@claude-code-plugins

On validation failure, displays the error with correct usage syntax.
