Slack search

Ergonomic wrapper over the Slack MCP search tools. Takes messy user queries and returns a focused answer.

Workflow

Parse $ARGUMENTS. Pull out structured filters where present (from:@name, in:#channel, after:YYYY-MM-DD, before:YYYY-MM-DD). Pass the rest as free text.

Run the search via the Slack MCP. Prefer the narrower endpoint if the query has a channel or user filter.

If you get >10 hits, narrow: prioritize messages that are thread-starters or got reactions/replies, and drop low-signal chatter.

Output

Return a summary, not a dump. Target: 3–8 bullets.

Found N results for "<query>". - <YYYY-MM-DD> @<person> in #<channel>: "<one-line quote or summary>" [link] - ... Pattern: <one sentence if you see one, e.g. "discussion peaked around <date> then died off">

If 0 results, say so and suggest broader terms (drop a filter, widen the time window).

If the Slack MCP isn't connected, stop and say so.

Don't

Don't post anything to Slack. This is read-only.

Don't quote entire threads — link them. Slack threads rot in markdown.

Don't speculate about private channels or DMs the user doesn't have access to.
