Search and read context
Permissions cover searching and reading conversations, files, profiles, channel information, canvases, and lists. Private channels and direct messages require the relevant permission and access through your Slack account.
Path MCP for SlackConnection guide
Bring Slack context to Scout.
Find the conversations that matter and turn them into useful answers, with your Slack account’s permissions.
Connect from your Scout chat.
Once available, installation starts in Path and continues through Slack’s permission screen.
Open a private Scout chat
Sign in to Path and open your own private conversation with Scout. You need a Path account and a Slack account in the workspace you want to connect.
Ask to connect Slack
Ask Scout: “Connect my Slack account using Path MCP.” Follow the connection link Scout provides. If the connection is not available, contact Path support.
Review access in Slack
Check that the app is named Path MCP and that you have selected the right Slack workspace. Review the permissions before approving. Your workspace may require an administrator to approve the app first.
Return to Scout
Start with a search or a summary of a channel you can access. If you connect more than one account, tell Scout which one to use. Review and confirm any proposed action that changes Slack content.
Sign in to Path
Signing in does not install Slack or grant access.
Know what you’re connecting.
Path MCP connects your Slack account to Scout. You choose whether to authorize the requested access.
Review actions before they run
Requested permissions also include sending messages, creating conversations, adding reactions, and working with files, canvases, and lists. Scout asks for confirmation before running actions that change Slack. Available tools depend on your connection and granted permissions.
A connection for your private chat
This connection belongs to you and is for your private, attended Scout conversations. It is separate from the Slack Connector used by customer apps. Connecting here does not share your Slack account with an App or other Path users.
Looking for the Slack Connector for an App?Disconnect when you need to
Open your personal connections in Path, choose your Slack MCP connection, and select Disconnect. You can also revoke authorization in Slack. Disconnecting does not delete information already saved in a conversation. Contact support to request deletion of data held by Path.
