Slack

Connect Pynchy to Slack channels and DMs through Slack Socket Mode.

Set up Slack

  1. Create a Slack app with Socket Mode enabled.
  2. Add the bot and app token environment variable names to data/personalization/pynchy.toml:
[connections.synapse]
type = "slack"
bot_token_env = "SLACK__BOT_TOKEN"
app_token_env = "SLACK__APP_TOKEN"
  1. Install the optional dependency:
uv sync --extra slack

Capabilities

For read-only browser-session access to a Slack workspace where you cannot install an app, see Slack MCP.
