[Slack MCP Plugin: Add support for Slack Lists (read/write)]
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Use Case
I use Slack Lists extensively as lightweight, structured documents for 1:1 meeting agendas (updated weekly). They've replaced Miro boards and other tools for this purpose.
Being able to read and update these lists from Claude Code would close a significant gap in my workflow — e.g., preparing for 1:1s, reviewing open topics across reports, or updating action items after conversations.
Suggested Tools
- slack_read_list — read list contents (columns, rows, metadata)
- slack_update_list — add/edit/remove rows
- slack_search_lists — find lists by title or content
Slack API Reference
Slack provides lists.* API methods that could back these tools. Required OAuth scope: lists:read / lists:write.
Context
The current plugin surfaces "Shared this list:" in message history but cannot access the actual list content, making it a blind spot in an otherwise well-covered Slack integration.
