Turn Slack into a REST + MCP endpoint

Writ turns the Slack actions you already do in a browser into a callable REST endpoint your software (and your AI agents) can call.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

No Slack API yet? Build one in minutes

Record the Slack task once (open admin analytics, then read a setting) and call it as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool. No backend project, no waiting on Slack to ship an API.

  1. 1
    Record the Slack task once

    Open the recorder and open admin analytics on Slack in a real browser. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a reusable workflow.

  2. 2
    Publish it as an endpoint

    One click turns the workflow into a callable REST endpoint at /v1/slack/run and a matching MCP tool. Inputs become a typed schema.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    Call Slack from your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent. Run it on your own machine for free, or on metered cloud.

Read the REST API docs, see what's possible on workflows, or search for another site. Free to start. See pricing.

gap ▸ no public api 02
03
why

Slack doesn't give you the endpoint you need

Slack has an API, but some admin, analytics, and workspace-settings screens are only reachable through the browser UI.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Slack task once (or describe it to an AI session) and publish it as a REST endpoint at /v1/slack/run and a matching MCP tool. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

What you can call on Slack

Each operation below is a real Slack action recorded into a workflow and exposed as a typed endpoint.

{ }open admin analytics
{ }read a setting
{ }export a member list
{ }run a UI-only action

Returns structured fields such as channel, message, member directory, analytics figure: typed JSON, not raw page text.

the hard web

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Slack

The reason Slack has no usable API is the same reason it's hard to automate. Writ handles it.

Writ signs into your own Slack workspace through a Persona, including SSO, and runs inside that authenticated session for UI-only actions.

Three ways to build your Slack endpoint

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same callable workflow.

Record itOpen the recorder, open admin analytics on Slack once in a real browser, and Writ captures every step into a workflow.
Describe itTell an AI session your goal on Slack in plain language, and it drives the page to build the workflow for you.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Slack's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows.

Trigger your Slack endpoint on a change

Monitor Slack for analytics figure change, new member, setting change and fire this endpoint the instant something changes.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes an automation trigger that runs your workflow in seconds. Monitor Slack ▸

run it

Free on your own machine, or on cloud

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Slack even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

Writ cloud

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

Slack API questions

Does Slack have an API?
Slack has an API, but some admin, analytics, and workspace-settings screens are only reachable through the browser UI. Writ gives you a callable /v1/slack/run endpoint that runs the real Slack flow in a browser and returns structured JSON.
Is there a ready-made Slack API I can use?
Record the Slack task once in the recorder (open admin analytics, then read a setting) or describe it to an AI session. Writ turns it into a callable REST endpoint and MCP tool. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Slack this way?
Use Writ on your own Slack workspace. Authorized automation of your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does this work with Slack login and 2FA?
Writ signs into your own Slack workspace through a Persona, including SSO, and runs inside that authenticated session for UI-only actions. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the endpoint runs inside your own authenticated session.
Can I run it on my own machine?
Yes. Run it on a local or BYO agent for no compute charge — useful when Slack is only reachable from your own network or VPN, and free on every plan. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage.
