}Troubleshooting & Common ErrorsFAQ
Common connection errors and verified fixes for Slack
Getting 'connection closed' or exit code 1 in Cursor / Claude Code for Slack?
Usually caused by missing runtime paths or IDE environment inheritance. Fix steps: 1. Verify Node.js 18+ (npx) or Python 3.10+ (uvx) is installed; 2. Run 'which npx' or 'which uvx' in terminal, and replace 'command' with absolute path; 3. Reload or restart the client window after modifying config.
# Check binary path in terminal: which npx node -v
Getting 'spawn npx ENOENT' or 'command not found'?
The editor background process does not inherit your full terminal PATH. Solution: Globally install the package, or set the absolute binary path (e.g. C:\Program Files\nodejs\npx.cmd on Windows, or /usr/local/bin/npx on macOS).
Missing required environment variable or authentication failure?
Slack requires environment variables (SLACK_BOT_TOKEN、SLACK_TEAM_ID、SLACK_CHANNEL_IDS). Ensure you have added valid keys under the 'env' object in your config file without trailing whitespace.
