You run an MCP server that exposes ActionKit Slack actions and connect it to Claude Desktop to access those actions from your desktop environment. This guide walks you through installing, configuring, and using the MCP server so you can trigger Slack actions on behalf of authenticated users.

How to use

After you start the MCP server, configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop) to load the ActionKit MCP. You will see a hammer icon listing Slack tools, and a plug icon to verify that your app is connected to the MCP. To use a tool, open Claude Desktop, pick the ActionKit Slack tool you want, and run it while you are authenticated through Paragon Connect Portal. The Slack actions will operate on your behalf once you have granted Slack access for your user.

How to install

Prerequisites you need installed on your machine:

Node.js and npm installed on your system.

How to install

Step by step commands to set up the MCP server and load it into Claude Desktop.

How to install

Install Claude Desktop
Clone this project
Install dependencies
Build the server bundle
Configure Claude Desktop to load the MCP server using the provided config snippet

How to install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-actionkit": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "ABSOLUTE_PATH/mcp-actionkit/build/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "USER": "",
        "PARAGON_PROJECT_ID": "",
        "SIGNING_KEY":""
      }
    }
  }
}

How to install

Fill in your environment variables with your Paragon credentials. For the USER variable, use the logged-in user from the Paragon Connect Portal. You can quickly login as a user and authenticate to Slack using the provided demo login if available. ABSOLUTE_PATH is the full path to the built MCP bundle on your machine.

How to install

Open Claude Desktop. You should see a hammer icon with the Slack tools and a plug icon indicating your MCP connection is active.

Additional notes

The ActionKit MCP server is designed to be run locally and connected to Claude Desktop. Ensure you provide valid Paragon credentials and authorize Slack access for your user. The build step generates the JavaScript file that Claude Desktop will execute to load the MCP endpoints.
