Description
Problem
Messages sent via the Slack MCP server include a "Sent using Claude" footer that cannot be disabled. For users and organizations with policies against AI attribution in communications, there is no way to opt out of this branding.
Proposed Solution
Add a configuration option (e.g., disable_attribution: true or a parameter on slack_send_message) that allows users to suppress the "Sent using Claude" footer on messages.
Context
- The Slack MCP server is a remote service (
mcp.slack.com/mcp), so this behavior is controlled server-side - Local configuration files (
.mcp.json) only contain OAuth/connection settings — no option exists to control message formatting - Some organizations have strict policies against AI attribution in any external or internal communications

Research direction
Start by reviewing the remote endpoint at mcp.slack.com/mcp and the local .mcp.json configuration described in the issue, which currently contains only OAuth and connection settings. Determine whether this repository exposes an entry point for message formatting or configuration; done means establishing a supported way to suppress the footer, or documenting that the change must be made server-side.
