Bengaluru, Feb 26: Imagine a world where every task, from coding to researching to creating, is supported by an agent that understands your business and is right there with you in your workspace. In Slack, this vision is a reality. All your context-aware agents are in one place, making collaboration simpler and more productive. No more juggling tabs or apps, just seamless human-agent teamwork.
At Dreamforce, we unveiled the reimagined Slack platform that allows partners and developers to build powerful, context-aware AI apps and agents in Slack, creating a context-rich hub for human-agent collaboration.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce the general availability of Slack’s Real-Time Search (RTS) API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. With this release, every customer and partner can instruct their AI agents securely in the context of Slack’s live, real-time conversational data – a goldmine of project conversations, team knowledge, business decisions and more – while strictly upholding enterprise-grade security and data permissions.
Since the limited release of the RTS API and MCP server in October, the reaction in the market has been nothing short of remarkable.
-
Ecosystem momentum: More than 50 industry-leading partners, including Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Perplexity and more, are already building context-aware agents on the platform.
-
Increased adoption: We’ve seen growth in agent activity on Slack, highlighted by a 25x increase in both RTS queries and MCP tool calls, establishing Slack as the execution layer for customers’ enterprise AI agents.
Whether you’re a developer using tools such as Claude Code or Cursor, or a marketer conducting research with ChatGPT or Perplexity, your agents now have the context that they need to help you work faster, eliminate repetitive tasks, and enhance your productivity and creativity.
‘We continue to deepen our integration with Slack through our MCP Apps extension and by including the power of Claude Code. Customers are increasingly seeing the value of this bi-directional integration, and usage is accelerating as a result: faster answers grounded in real team contexts, improved workflows and insights delivered straight to Slack, where the work is happening. This integration unlocks trusted, actionable intelligence that aligns with how your team really operates’. – Scott White, Head of Product for Claude, Anthropic
