Background
This repo is an MCP server demoing ActionKit. Connect this server to your Claude Desktop to get access to all of ActionKit’s Slack actions.
In this example it is assumed that your user has authed via the Paragon Connect Portal.
For the purposes of this demo we filtered actions to Slack actions, but this setting can be changed by removing the Slack filter in
the index.ts file.
Setting Up
- First install
Claude Desktop - Clone this repo and run
npm install - Next run a
npm run buildto build a javascript file that will be used by Claude Desktop - Our last step is to point Claude Desktop to our MCP server
- Create/edit the Claude config file using a text editor i.e.
vi ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - In the
claude_desktop_config.jsonfile paste this configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-actionkit": { "command": "node", "args": [ "ABSOLUTE_PATH/mcp-actionkit/build/index.js" ], "env": { "USER": "", "PARAGON_PROJECT_ID": "", "SIGNING_KEY":"" } } } }
- Fill in your env variables with your Paragon credentials
- For the
USERenv variable, this will correspond to the logged in user authenticated in theParagon Connect Portal- Use demo.useparagon.com to quickly login as your user and authenticate to Slack (This is a necessary for the Slack tools to be used on your behalf)
- Note: ABSOLUTE_PATH can be found by
clicking a file in your Finderon Mac
- Open Claude Desktop and there should be a
hammer iconwith the list of Slack tools
- Additionally there should also be a
plug iconwhere you can verify that your app is connected to our MCP
