# How to register your own Slack MCP OAuth app

> Configure a Slack app for MCP (user tokens) and connect it to Nango

This guide shows you how to create or reuse a Slack app and configure it for the **Slack MCP server**. Slack MCP uses **user tokens** (OAuth v2 user flow). You can use the same Slack app as for the regular [Slack integration](https://nango.dev/docs/api-integrations/slack.md); add the redirect URL and **User Token Scopes** required for MCP. Only **directory-published** or **internal** Slack apps may use MCP; unlisted apps are not supported.

**1. Create or open a Slack app**

1. Go to the [Slack API](https://api.slack.com/apps) and sign in or join the [Slack Developer Program](https://api.slack.com/developer-program).
2. Click **Create New App** (or open an existing app you want to reuse for MCP and skip the app creation step).
3. Choose **From scratch**, set an app name and workspace, then click **Create App**.

**2. Enable the Slack MCP server**

1. In the left sidebar, open **Agents & AI Apps** (or go to `https://api.slack.com/apps/<your-app-id>/app-assistant`).
2. Scroll to the **Model Context Protocol** section and toggle it on.
3. Save changes.

**3. Set redirect URL and user token scopes**

1. In the left sidebar, open **OAuth & Permissions**.
2. Under **Redirect URLs**, add: `https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback`.
3. Under **Scopes**, find **User Token Scopes** and add the scopes your MCP use case needs.
4. Save changes.

**4. Copy credentials**

1. Open the **Basic Information** tab.
2. Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. You will enter these when configuring the Slack (MCP) integration in Nango.

**5. Next**

Follow the [*Quickstart*](https://nango.dev/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md).
