claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Add support for private channels in Slack MCP integration [1 participants]

TL;DR

Modify the Slack MCP integration's slack_list_channels tool to include private channels by utilizing the bot's groups:read OAuth scope.

Guidance

• Review the Slack API documentation to ensure the bot has the necessary permissions to access private channels.
• Update the slack_list_channels tool to use the conversations.list method with the types parameter set to public_channel,private_channel to retrieve both public and private channels.
• Verify that the bot has been invited to the private channels and has the appropriate permissions to access them.
• Test the updated slack_list_channels tool to ensure it returns both public and private channels that the bot is a member of.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details.

Notes

The solution assumes that the Slack API and the bot's OAuth scope are properly configured to support private channel access.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the slack_list_channels tool to utilize the bot's groups:read OAuth scope to access private channels, as this will provide the desired functionality without requiring a full upgrade.
