Slack has unveiled new developer tools, including a real-time search (RTS) API and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, that allow partners to securely access conversational data and build AI-powered applications directly into workflows.
These innovations unlock the value of unstructured messages and chats, giving agents and apps the context they need to deliver accurate, relevant, and actionable insights.
Early adopters, including Anthropic, Google, Dropbox, Notion, Perplexity, Writer, and Vercel, are already leveraging these capabilities, with their apps now available in the Slack Marketplace.
By combining rich conversational context with enterprise-grade security, Slack is positioning itself as the natural hub for the agentic era of work.
The RTS API enables apps to surface real-time discussions and files without bulk downloads, while the MCP server standardizes how LLMs connect with Slack data and execute tasks.
Together, these tools help organizations accelerate decision-making, eliminate context switching, and increase productivity across teams.
With thousands of AI agents competing to prove their usefulness, Slack’s platform provides developers with the missing piece: context-rich, secure access to the conversations that drive business forward.
