Editor's note
Slackdump is a Go-based command-line tool and MCP server that exports Slack workspaces, including private conversations, channels, threads, files, and emojis, without requiring admin privileges. It operates in multiple modes: dumping messages, generating standard or Mattermost-compatible Slack Export archives, saving data to a SQLite database or compressed JSON, searching messages and files, downloading emojis, and resuming interrupted archives. The MCP server mode connects to Claude (via Claude Code or any MCP-compatible AI tool) over STDIO or HTTP, allowing AI agents to query and analyze archived Slack data directly. Database tools such as merge, dedupe, and cleanup handle multi-session archives. A notable standout is incremental archiving, which is particularly useful for free Slack workspaces that enforce a 90-day message retention limit. The tool benefits individual contributors, teams migrating to Mattermost or Discord, and developers who need programmatic access to Slack data outside the official Slack export workflow.
