Slack for Elvean

Ask your AI about your Slack without leaving the conversation. Search messages, pull up a channel, and get a summary — all from inside Elvean, on your Mac.

Download Elvean for Mac Add to Slack

The “Add to Slack” button opens Elvean to finish connecting — install Elvean first.

What you can do

  • Search messages across the public channels you’re in.
  • Read a channel — summarize a thread or catch up on a discussion.
  • Find people and channels by name so you can refer to them naturally.

It’s read-only — Elvean requests the minimum, least-privilege scopes and never posts, edits, or deletes anything in your workspace.

How to connect

  1. Open Elvean (download it above if you haven’t).
  2. Go to Settings (⌘,) → MCP Connectors.
  3. Find Slack and click Connect.
  4. Approve the read-only access in the Slack window that opens. Done — Slack tools are now available in your chats.

Some workspaces require an admin to approve new apps; if so, your request goes to your Slack admin first.

Your privacy

Elvean is local-first. Your Slack access token is stored in the macOS Keychain and never leaves your device, and requests go directly from your Mac to Slack — Elvean runs no server in between. Slack content is only sent to the AI model you choose to answer a question, which can be a fully on-device local model (Ollama or LM Studio) — in which case nothing leaves your machine.
