Slackbot · MCP testing
Test how Slackbot calls your MCP tools.
Slackbot decides which tool to call and what to do with the result. In Slackbot, the model sees none of the images your tools return, in any result shape we track. MCPJam runs your server through Slackbot with openai/gpt-5-nano so you see the real tool calls instead of guessing from a bug report.
npx @mcpjam/inspector@latestHow Slackbot handles your tool results
Image results
No image shape reaches the model in Slackbot. If a tool's answer is an image, Slackbot users get nothing useful. Return text or a link instead.
Emulation model
MCPJam drives Slackbot with openai/gpt-5-nano, so tool selection reflects this host, not a generic model.
Extensions
Slackbot advertises io.modelcontextprotocol/ui.
See the call
Trace shows every step from prompt to response with timings. The exact tool, the exact arguments.
Score it
Evals run realistic requests through Slackbot and score whether the right tool was picked with the right arguments.

Walkthrough: Slackbot
Run npx @mcpjam/inspector@latest, connect the MCP server config you already use, and select Slackbot as the host. MCPJam emulates Slackbot with openai/gpt-5-nano on web, so what you see is this host's behavior, not a generic client's.
Ask for something in natural language and watch which tool Slackbot picks and with what arguments. Open Trace for the timed step-by-step, then turn the recurring cases into an eval suite so a regression fails the gate instead of your users.
