Description
Environment
Plan: Slack Enterprise
Claude Code version: Latest, native install
OS: macOS 26.3.1
Setup
- Installed Slack plugin from the official Anthropic plugin marketplace in Claude Code via /plugin > Discover
- Other MCP connectors work fine in Claude Code
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Claude Code Slack Plugin
- Start Claude Code
- Run
/mcp - Select "Authenticate" from the menu
- No browser window opens
- An error message is displayed
/mcp Output
Plugin:slack:slack MCP Server
Status: ❌ failed
Auth: ❌ not authenticated
URL: https://mcp.slack.com/mcp
Config location: Dynamically configured
Error: Incompatible auth server: does not support dynamic client registration
Possible Issue
The MCP OAuth server metadata returned from the discovery endpoint at https://mcp.slack.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server reports an issuer "https://slack.com" which mismatches the expected issuer "https://mcp.slack.com" used to perform the discovery.
The OAuth authorization server metadata at https://mcp.slack.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server must contain an issuer field exactly equal to the discovery issuer URI:
{
...
"issuer": "https://mcp.slack.com",
...
}

Research direction
Start with the Claude Code /mcp authentication flow and inspect the OAuth discovery response at https://mcp.slack.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. Confirm whether the issuer and dynamic client registration metadata prevent authentication; done means selecting Authenticate opens the browser and the Slack MCP server reports authenticated.
