Salesforce MCP Server

About

The Salesforce DX MCP Server (npm package `@salesforce/mcp`) is Salesforce's official Model Context Protocol integration, built and maintained by the Salesforce CLI (salesforcecli) team to let AI assistants read, manage, and operate Salesforce orgs securely from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or Cline. Rather than exposing one flat set of tools, it is organized into configurable toolsets you enable with the `--toolsets` flag: `orgs` (list and inspect the orgs you've authenticated), `data` (run SOQL queries and read/create/update records for standard and custom objects), `metadata` (deploy and retrieve source and metadata), and `users` — plus individually-gateable tools such as `run_apex_test`. This makes it useful both for developers automating deploys and Apex test runs and for RevOps teams asking Claude to "pull all open opportunities closing this quarter over $50K" or "update this deal to Negotiation." A key security design point: the server never takes raw usernames and passwords — instead it operates on orgs you have already authenticated through the Salesforce CLI (`sf org login`), which you reference by alias via the `--orgs` flag, so credentials stay in the CLI's secure store and each MCP session is scoped only to the orgs you explicitly allow. Install with `npx -y @salesforce/mcp --orgs DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG --toolsets orgs,metadata,data,users`. Apache-2.0 licensed. Community CRM-focused alternatives such as tsmztech/mcp-server-salesforce and smn2gnt/MCP-Salesforce exist for teams wanting a lighter SOQL-and-records-only server.
