### 4.3 Real RAG Query Example
## Real RAG Query Example (Sky Lab Computing “random”)
To ask intelligent questions about your Slack conversations:
This example shows a real query against the Sky Lab Computing workspaces “random” channel using the Slack MCP server, with an embedded screenshot of the terminal output.
### Screenshot
![Sky Random RAG](videos/rag-sky-random.png)
### Prerequisites
- Bot is installed in the Sky Lab Computing workspace and invited to the target channel (run `/invite @YourBotName` in the channel if needed)
- Bot token available and exported in the same terminal session
### Commands
1) Set the workspace token for this shell
```bash
# Ask about a specific topic discussed in your channels
python -m apps.slack_rag \
--mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
export SLACK_MCP_XOXP_TOKEN="xoxb-***-redacted-***"
```
2) Run a real query against the “random” channel by channel ID (C0GN5BX0F)
```bash
python test_channel_by_id_or_name.py \
--channel-id C0GN5BX0F \
--workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
--query "PUBPOL 290"
```
Expected: The output contains a matching message (e.g., “do we have a channel for class PUBPOL 290 this semester?”) followed by a compact RAG-style answer section.
3) Optional: Ask a broader question
```bash
python test_channel_by_id_or_name.py \
--channel-id C0GN5BX0F \
--workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
--channels random general \
--query "What is LEANN about?"
```
This will:
1. **Retrieve relevant messages** from the specified channels
2. **Index the content** for semantic search
3. **Generate an intelligent answer** based on the retrieved context
4. **Provide citations** showing which messages were used
## Success Example: Working Integration
Here's what a successful Slack integration looks like in practice:
### Terminal Output
When you run the connection test, you should see output similar to this:
```
Testing Slack MCP Connection...
Environment: SLACK_MCP_XOXP_TOKEN = xoxb-16753592806-967...
Connected to Slack MCP server!
Authenticated with Slack.
Listing available MCP tools...
Found 5 available tools:
1. channels_list - Get list of channels
2. conversations_add_message - Add messages to channels
3. conversations_history - Get messages from channels
4. conversations_replies - Get thread messages
5. conversations_search_messages - Search messages with filters
Testing message fetch from 'random' channel...
Successfully fetched messages from channel random.
```
### Visual Example
The following screenshot shows a successful integration with VS Code displaying the retrieved Slack channel data:
![Slack Integration Success](slack-integration-success.png)
### Key Success Indicators
- **Authentication Success**: Connected to your Slack workspace
- **Tool Availability**: 5 MCP tools ready for interaction
- **Data Access**: Retrieved channel directory with member counts and purposes
- **Comprehensive Coverage**: Access to multiple channels including specialized research groups
This demonstrates that your Slack integration is fully functional and ready for RAG queries across your entire workspace.
### Important: Invite Your Bot to Channels
Before running RAG queries, you need to invite your Slack bot to the channels you want to access. This is a security feature in Slack.
**To invite your bot to a channel:**
1. Go to the channel in Slack (e.g., `#general` or `#random`)
2. Type: `/invite @YourBotName` (replace with your actual bot name)
3. Or click the channel name → "Settings" → "Integrations" → "Add apps"
Notes:
- If you see `not_in_channel`, invite the bot to the channel and re-run.
- If you see `channel_not_found`, confirm the channel ID and workspace.
- Deep search via server-side “search” tools may require additional Slack scopes; the example above performs client-side filtering over retrieved history.

### Screenshot: Real RAG Query Results
Here's what you'll see when running a RAG query on your Slack workspace:
**What this screenshot shows:**
- ✅ **Successful MCP connection** to Slack workspace
- ✅ **Channel directory retrieval** (107 channels discovered)
- ✅ **Proper error handling** for channel access permissions
- ⚠️ **"not_in_channel" errors** indicating bot needs invitation to specific channels
This is the expected behavior - the integration is working perfectly, it just needs proper channel permissions to access conversation messages.
