Creativity · MCP — server

MCP Salesforce Server

The MCP Salesforce server exposes SOQL queries, standard CRUD on sObjects, and optional Apex or Flow execution to an LLM client. Salesforce's Agentforce platform includes first-party MCP integration so Einstein-based agents can use your org's data and actions natively; for bringing external agents like Claude into your org, community servers wrap the REST and Tooling APIs. Always authenticate with a dedicated Connected App and a least-privilege permission set.

Frequently asked questions

How does MCP relate to Agentforce?

Agentforce, Salesforce's agent platform, supports MCP-style tool integration so external MCP servers can extend Agentforce actions, and Agentforce tools can be invoked from MCP-aware agents.

What auth should I use?

Create a Connected App in Salesforce with the minimum OAuth scopes required, generate a refresh token for a dedicated integration user, and bind that user to a least-privilege permission set.

Is running Apex from MCP dangerous?

It can be — Apex runs in system context by default. Only enable the run_apex tool for trusted use cases, and prefer invocable Flows with explicit input bindings instead.
