Description
The Slack MCP plugin (plugin:slack:slack) fails to authenticate. After going through the /mcp → select plugin:slack:slack → Authenticate flow, the plugin remains disconnected and Slack MCP tools are not available.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
/mcpin Claude Code - Select
plugin:slack:slack - Choose "Authenticate"
- Auth flow does not complete successfully — plugin stays disconnected
Expected behavior
OAuth flow completes and Slack MCP tools (message posting, channel reading, etc.) become available for use.
Environment
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- CLI: Claude Code
- Model: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context)
