README

Slack ↔ WxO MCP Gateway

Author: Markus van Kempen
Email: mvankempen@ca.ibm.com · markus.van.kempen@gmail.com
Web: https://markusvankempen.github.io/ · GitHub

npm: @markusvankempen/slack-wxo-mcp-gateway · MCP: io.github.markusvankempen/slack-wxo-mcp-gateway

This GitHub repo is documentation + registry metadata. It does not include the runnable application source.
Install / run via npm: npx -y @markusvankempen/slack-wxo-mcp-gateway · Site: https://markusvankempen.github.io/

Pitch: MCP gateway that lifts watsonx Orchestrate Slack limitations — every-message wake-up, multi-channel→multi-agent routing, clean in-thread replies, and a streamable-http toolkit for WxO + Cursor / VS Code / Bob / Antigravity — without replacing your agents.

tags: wxo-limitations · byo-slack · every-message · multi-channel · multi-agent · thread-followups · gateway-thread · no-done-noise · mcp-toolkit · streamable-http · poller · code-engine · ngrok · agentic-ai

One config site: map many Slack channels → many WxO agents.
Poller (and optional Slack Events) wake agents.
Same host exposes an MCP toolkit (/mcp) for WxO / Cursor / other clients.

Deep dive: Why this MCP — lifting WxO limits

Why this approach (WxO limits → lift)

WxO / Slack limit	Tag	Gateway lift
`byo_slack` ≈ @mention / DM only	`every-message`	Poller / Events wake agents on every human message
Hard to run many channels → many agents	`multi-channel` `multi-agent`	One bindings table + admin UI
Thread follow-ups easy to drop	`thread-followups`	Reads thread replies + context
Noisy finals (`done`, etc.) in Slack	`gateway-thread` `no-done-noise`	Gateway posts answers; filters noise
Agents need remote tools with real DNS	`mcp-toolkit` `streamable-http`	Hosted `/mcp` for Orchestrate toolkits
Ops stuck cloning pollers	`ops-self-serve`	MCP tools + diagnostics + logs
Slack ops only inside Slack/WxO UI	`ide-parity`	Same tools in Cursor, VS Code, Bob, Antigravity, Claude

WxO stays the brain (LLMs, skills, flows). This gateway is the Slack + routing + MCP edge.
Bring-your-own agent frameworks: docs/frameworks/ (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Agents).
