Knit doesn't offer a managed Slack MCP server yet, but its MCP Hub already offers MCP servers for 106 other apps, with managed auth, multi-app servers and built-in monitoring. [See Docs](https://developers.getknit.dev/docs/knit-mcp-server-getting-started) [Request the Slack MCP Server](/book-demo/) Knit vs the official Slack MCP server ------------------------------------- Slack publishes [an official Slack MCP server](https://docs.slack.dev/ai/mcp-server). Here's how it compares with Knit's MCP Hub. #### Official Slack MCP server - **Access and auth:** Each user authorizes Slack separately in every AI client they connect. - **Apps per server:** Slack tools only. Every other app needs its own server and login. - **Monitoring:** Visibility depends on what Slack's own admin tools show. #### Knit MCP Hub - **Access and auth:** Knit manages access: it stores and refreshes credentials, and clients connect with one server URL and token. - **Apps per server:** Combine tools from several apps in a single MCP server. [How it works](https://developers.getknit.dev/docs/knit-mcp-server-getting-started) - **Monitoring:** Built-in monitoring and observability across every app in the server. If Slack is the only app your agent needs, the official server is a good fit. Knit fits when your agent works across several apps, or when you want access and monitoring managed in one place.

Knit's MCP Hub supports 106 apps today, and Slack isn't one of them. Request it from this page and we'll tell you when it's available. Is there an official Slack MCP server?Yes. Slack publishes its own Slack MCP server. It covers Slack only, so an agent that also works in other apps needs a separate server and login for each one. What would Knit add over the official Slack MCP server?The same things Knit's MCP Hub provides for every app it supports: managed access and auth, the option to combine tools from several apps in one server, and built-in monitoring and observability. If Slack is the only app your agent needs, the official server is a good fit. Can I use Knit's MCP Hub with the apps it already supports?Yes. You can create a server with tools from any of the 106 supported apps, combine several apps in one server, and connect it to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or your own MCP client.
