Pookie

A Slack bot for searching your Slack. Tag it in any channel or thread, and it replies with what you're looking for. It can also generate images, run Python on attached files, search the web, and connect to other tools through MCP.

Setup

Use our hosted instance
The hosted version of Pookie. Click the button, pick a workspace, approve the scopes. Good if you want to try it without setting up infra.
Add to Slack

Usage

Tag @pookie in any channel or thread. In a DM you can skip the mention. To invite Pookie to a new channel, run /invite @pookie; Pookie only sees channels it has been invited to.

@pookie find the thread where ray shipped the new pricing page

@pookie summarize what happened in #eng-platform this week

@pookie what's our policy on travel reimbursements

Examples

# OAuth preset

/mcp-add linear

# token preset (pass token inline)

/mcp-add github ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# multiple accounts via alias suffix

/mcp-add linear_personal

/mcp-add linear_work

# custom (non-preset) server

/mcp-add my-server https://my-server.example.com/mcp

# share with a channel or the whole workspace (admin)

/mcp-add linear --channel

/mcp-add sentry --global

Connections are personal by default. Use --channel to share with the current channel, or --global (admin only) to make it available workspace-wide.
