qbash Connectors / Slack

Slack MCP serverand Python AI tasks

qbash hosts a Slack MCP server you can use in Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok Bot and Muse.

Developers use qbash Tasks to write cloud-hosted Python functions that pair Slack with models such as Claude and GPT.

MCP server

Build a Slack MCP server

Give ChatGPT, Claude and your other AI tools access to Slack through one server. You pick which Slack tools it shares, and you can add other connectors, memory folders and Tasks to the same server.

How to set it up

Connect Slack on the qbash Connectors page.
Create an MCP server and add the Slack tools you want to share.
Paste the server URL into your client. It connects with OAuth or an access token.

Python AI task

Write a Slack task in Python

A qbash Task is a hosted Python function that calls Slack and AI models.

Draft a channel discussion digest

Read one day of channel messages and ask an inline prompt to extract decisions and open questions.

main.py
since = (datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(days=1)).isoformat()
report = qbash.integrations.slack.get_conversation_history(
    channel="C0123456789", oldest=since, limit=50,
)
messages = report["messages"]
if messages:
    digest = qbash.ai.run_prompt(
        slug="slack-channel-digest",
        variables={"messages": json.dumps(messages)},
    )
    qbash.output(digest)
else:
    qbash.output("No channel messages in this period.")

Sample get_conversation_history response

{
  "status": "success",
  "messages": [
    {
      "text": "We agreed to review the export on Friday. Sam will prepare the sample.",
      "user": "U123",
      "ts": "1790600000.000001",
      "reply_count": 0
    }
  ],
  "has_more": false,
  "next_cursor": ""
}

qbash Tasks: AI applications in Python

A Task is a Python function that calls Slack, your other connectors and models such as Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok. qbash hosts and runs it.

Run Tasks on a schedule or from your team's tools

+ more

Deterministic where it counts Write the logic in Python and call a model only for the steps that need judgement, so the rest runs the same way every time.
Version controlled Every save is a revision you can compare and roll back.
Logged Each run records its inputs, output, errors and what started it.
Shared credentials Connections belong to your organization, so a Task keeps working when its author is away.

Slack MCP questions

Does Slack have an official MCP server?

Yes. Slack runs an MCP server at mcp.slack.com/mcp that signs in with OAuth. The qbash server puts Slack beside your other connectors on one URL, and scheduled Python tasks can read the same channels.

Which channels can it read?

The channels its bot belongs to. Add the bot to a private channel before asking about it.

Can it search across all of Slack?

No. It has no search tool, so it reads history one channel at a time by date range.
