Say to your AI
Install the Slack MCP. List the channels you can read and confirm you won't post without me asking.
You'll get: Channel list plus a confirmation that posting needs explicit instruction.
Say to your AI
Summarize everything in #engineering and #incidents since yesterday into 'needs me', 'FYI', and 'ignore'.
You'll get: A three-bucket digest with the 'needs me' items first.
Say to your AI
Draft replies for the two 'needs me' threads. Show them to me before anything is posted.
You'll get: Two draft replies awaiting your approval.
You're done when
You start the day with a clear digest and ready-to-send drafts instead of an hour of catching up — and nothing goes out without your sign-off.
Most team communication is low-signal: a few threads actually need you, the rest is FYI. Comms MCP servers let Claude read across Slack and email, sort what matters, and draft the replies — while you keep the final send. The rule that makes this safe: read and draft freely, but post only on explicit instruction.
