# Slack Find Channel

> Resolves a public Slack channel name to its ID via fuzzy matching.

Resolves a public Slack channel name to its ID via fuzzy matching. Off by default.

Use this before `slack_send_bot_message` when you have a human name (`engineering`, `#general`) instead of a channel ID.

## Authentication and enablement

Requires a workspace Slack integration (`mcp:slack`). The bot token is injected. Enable the tool and bind Slack. Only **public, non-archived** channels are searched.

## Inputs

* `channel_name` (required): exact, partial, or misspelled name. A leading `#` and spaces are stripped.

## Output

The single best match plus a few close alternatives.

## Limits and side effects

* Read-only. Does not join or create channels.
* Private channels are not searched.

## Expected errors

* Missing Slack token.
* Empty `channel_name`.
* No public-channel match.
