Overview

What is ActionKit MCP Starter?

ActionKit MCP Starter is an MCP server that demonstrates ActionKit, giving Claude Desktop or Cursor access to all of ActionKit’s Slack actions. It is intended for developers who want to integrate Slack tools into AI assistants using Paragon for authentication.

How to use ActionKit MCP Starter?

Clone the repo, run npm install and npm run build, then configure your Claude Desktop or Cursor config file with the absolute path to build/index.js and fill in the USER, PARAGON_PROJECT_ID, and SIGNING_KEY environment variables with your Paragon credentials. The user must authenticate to Slack via the Paragon Connect Portal (e.g., demo.useparagon.com) before using the tools.

FAQ from ActionKit MCP Starter

What dependencies does ActionKit MCP Starter require?

You need Node.js and npm installed, a Paragon project with credentials, and a user authenticated to Slack via the Paragon Connect Portal.

How does authentication work?

The server assumes the user has authenticated via the Paragon Connect Portal. The USER env variable corresponds to the logged-in user, and Slack must be authenticated there for the tools to work on your behalf.

Can I use actions other than Slack?

Yes. The default example filters to Slack actions, but you can remove the Slack filter in index.ts to access all of ActionKit’s actions.

Which AI assistants are supported?

Claude Desktop and Cursor are explicitly supported in the setup instructions.

What transport does the server use?

The server is configured via command-line arguments (stdio) in the Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration files.
