Pipedream Slack MCP

This example shows how to use Pipedream MCP servers (in this case the Slack one) with Agno Agents.

1. Connect your Pipedream and Slack accounts: https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/slack
2. Get your Pipedream MCP server url: https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/slack
3. Set the MCP_SERVER_URL environment variable to the MCP server url you got above
4. Install dependencies: uv pip install agno mcp
