At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Salesforce
Developer Tools · Remote HTTP/SSE
Quality: 47/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Kernel MCP Server
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 57/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Salesforce if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a hosted cloud SSE transport. Choose Kernel MCP Server if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
S
Choose Salesforce when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Query Salesforce records using SOQL. Returns matching records with all requested fields. Use sf_describe first to learn available fields for your object.
sf_get_record
Fetch a single Salesforce record by ID. Specify object type (e.g., 'Account', 'Contact', 'Opportunity') and record ID. Returns all fields.
sf_search
Search across Salesforce objects by keyword. Returns matching records from multiple object types like Accounts, Contacts, Leads. Use for broad keyword searches.

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Salesforce is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Kernel MCP Server belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Salesforce when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Kernel MCP Server when you require tools for developer tools.
