So why can't the cursor instance on your laptop have a slack bot? I've had a slack bot on my build machine written in chicken-scheme of all things for years, I feel like the great people (or clankers?) at cursor ought to be able to figure this one out

It could! An MCP would actually be great but Slack would prefer to sell us their own AI integration product so (1) they make it difficult and more importantly (2) it's against their terms of service

We pay them a LOT of money every year and they would absolutely notice the indexing at the level we'd need to do to make this work ourselves, so the answer is "because Slack is preventing us".
