Ferentin integration

Slack MCP Server allows AI agents to read messages, post updates, and interact with channels through secure OAuth with workspace-level permissions and audit logging.

Frequently asked about Slack

What can AI agents do with Slack through Ferentin?
Ferentin exposes 27 Slack MCP tools to your AI agents, grouped as Discover (7 tools), Access (7 tools), Manage (11 tools) and Collaborate (1 tool). Every call is checked against your Ferentin policies before it reaches Slack.
How does Ferentin secure Slack access?
Requests through the Slack integration are covered by audit logging, enterprise key management and dlp integration. These controls are applied by Ferentin, not by Slack, so they hold across every connected agent.
What permissions does the Slack integration require?
The Slack integration requests 30 OAuth 2.0 scopes: search:read.public (read access); search:read.private (read access); search:read.mpim (read access); search:read.im (read access); search:read.files (read access); search:read.users (read access); chat:write (elevated access); channels:history (read access); groups:history (read access); mpim:history (read access); im:history (read access); canvases:read (read access); canvases:write (elevated access); users:read (read access); users:read.email (read access); reactions:write (elevated access); reactions:read (read access); emoji:read (read access); files:read (read access); channels:write (elevated access); groups:write (elevated access); im:write (elevated access); mpim:write (elevated access); channels:read (read access); groups:read (read access); mpim:read (read access); files:write (elevated access); im:read (read access); lists:read (read access); lists:write (elevated access)
How do I connect Slack to Ferentin?
Open the Ferentin admin console, add Slack as a new connection and authenticate with OAuth 2.0. You then choose which permissions and which tools your agents may use, and the connection goes live for everyone covered by your policies.
Is the Slack integration generally available?
