Enable Grafbase MCP from Slack
Move an agreed MCP enablement request forward from the channel where the decision was made.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Enable Grafbase MCP Server
Tool to enable the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for a Grafbase project. Use when you need to activate MCP support; if the API endpoint is not supported, this returns guidance for enabling via configuration.
Why this helps
Activation requests can sit unnoticed when they are separated from the place the team discusses the work.
- Act on an explicit request in the team's shared conversation.
- Report whether the enablement attempt succeeds or needs configuration guidance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Grafbase to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with this prompt: When someone explicitly requests enabling Grafbase MCP in Slack and identifies the project, attempt to enable it and report the outcome.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real, authorized enablement request and review the response.
Questions about this workflow
Will the action always enable MCP?
It attempts the API operation and may return guidance if the endpoint does not support enabling it.
What makes a request clear?
The message should explicitly ask for MCP to be enabled and identify the Grafbase project.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Grafbase. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Grafbase actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete Grafbase API Key
Tool to delete an existing API key. Use after confirming the key ID to revoke access.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Grafbase Audit Log
Tool to delete a specific Grafbase audit log entry. Note: As of current Grafbase public documentation, there is no documented API to delete audit logs programmatically. This action will attempt a best-effort REST DELETE to `/audit-logs/{id}` and, if unsupported or not found, it will gracefully fall back to validating connectivity with the GraphQL Management API and return a structured response instead of failing.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
