Can I use Slack as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Slack CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Slack through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Slack tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Slack credentials stored?

Slack credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Slack MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Connect Slack to Vercel AI SDK

Use KosmoKrator as a local integration gateway for Vercel AI SDK agents and scripts.

Create an MCP client that starts or connects to the KosmoKrator gateway for the selected integration. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with --write=deny so Vercel AI SDK can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.

Slack MCP Config for Vercel AI SDK

Prefer CLI JSON calls when a workflow only needs one deterministic integration operation.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kosmokrator-slack": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "kosmo",
      "args": [
        "mcp:serve",
        "--integration=slack",
        "--write=deny"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run the Gateway Manually

kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=slack --write=deny

Why Use KosmoKrator Here

Scoped tools

Expose only Slack instead of a broad multi-service tool list.

Local credentials

Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.

Write policy

Start read-only, then opt into ask or allow for trusted workspaces.
