Perplexity uses Slack’s new MCP server to access data from Slack conversations.

Both the RTS API and MCP server are available in a closed beta currently, ahead of general availability in early 2026. However, the third-party agents are available to Slack customers via the Slack Marketplace from today. Pricing of individual AI apps and agents will be determined by the vendor.
Slack also announced Work Objects on Wednesday, a tool that helps developers connect apps to Slack conversation data with “rich app previews” that include information such as file descriptions and embedded images. Work Objects standardizes how third-party data is displayed in Slack, and lets users take actions, such as marking Asana tasks as complete, without switching screens.
Finally, Slack has created new agentic developer tools that it said will streamline the development lifecycle, with “AI best practices, prebuilt Block Kit Tables, and updated resources that includes the CLI for Bolt interface.”
