About ActionKit MCP Starter

What is ActionKit MCP Starter: Enterprise-Ready, Agile Deployments?

Imagine a tool that bridges the gap between AI assistants and real-world workflows—ActionKit MCP Starter does exactly that. Built for teams who want to plug Slack actions into Claude Desktop with minimal hassle, this starter kit acts as a launchpad for enterprise-grade automation. It’s like having a pre-wired control panel where you can toggle access to Slack integrations, all while keeping security tight with Paragon credentials. Think of it as your Swiss Army knife for action-based AI deployments.

How to Use ActionKit MCP Starter: Enterprise-Ready, Agile Deployments?

Let’s dive into the setup process—no coding wizardry required. First, install Claude Desktop (the obvious starting line). Next, clone this repo and npm install to get dependencies. Here’s the catch: you’ll need to build the project before pointing Claude Desktop to your MCP server. The config tweak is where things get hands-on—edit that claude_desktop_config.json file carefully. Pro tip: use the CMD+click trick in Finder to snag that ABSOLUTE_PATH quickly. Once everything’s linked, the hammer icon in Claude Desktop should light up with Slack tools, and the plug icon confirms your MCP is humming along.

It ensures your JavaScript is primed for seamless integration with Claude Desktop. Another key feature: the plug icon verification gives instant feedback, so you know your setup isn’t just theoretical.

ActionKit MCP Starter FAQ

FAQ from ActionKit MCP Starter: Enterprise-Ready, Agile Deployments?

Q: “Does this work on Windows?”
A: The config path syntax might differ—replace Finder tricks with your OS’s file navigation. The core logic stays the same.
Q: “What if I forget my Paragon credentials?”
A:
Panic mode optional, but do check the Paragon dashboard first. Reach out to your admin if all else fails.
Q: “Can I add non-Slack actions?”
A: Absolutely! Just delete that Slack filter in index.ts and hook up your preferred API endpoints. The sky’s the limit (or your API keys, whichever comes first).

ActionKit MCP Starter

Background

This repo is an MCP server demoing ActionKit. Connect this server to your Claude Desktop to get access to all of ActionKit's Slack actions. In this example it is assumed that your user has authed via the Paragon Connect Portal. For the purposes of this demo we filtered actions to Slack actions, but this setting can be changed by removing the Slack filter in the index.ts file.

Setting Up

  1. First install Claude Desktop
  2. Clone this repo and run npm install
  3. Next run a npm run build to build a javascript file that will be used by Claude Desktop
  4. Our last step is to point Claude Desktop to our MCP server
  • Create/edit the Claude config file using a text editor i.e. vi ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • In the claude_desktop_config.json file paste this configuration:

    {
    "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-actionkit": {
    "command": "node",
    "args": [
    "ABSOLUTE_PATH/mcp-actionkit/build/index.js"
    ],
    "env": {
    "USER": "",
    "PARAGON_PROJECT_ID": "",
    "SIGNING_KEY":""
    }
    }
    }
    }

  • Fill in your env variables with your Paragon credentials

  • Note: ABSOLUTE_PATH can be found by clicking a file in your Finder on Mac

  1. Open Claude Desktop and there should be a hammer icon with the list of Slack tools
  • Additionally there should also be a plug icon where you can verify that your app is connected to our MCP
