Salesforce Overview

The Salesforce MCP server exposes Salesforce CRM data through six MCP tools for object discovery, schema inspection, SOQL, SOSL, aggregation, and record changes. It supports HTTP for gateway deployments and stdio for clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor. HTTP mode authenticates each request with gateway and Salesforce headers, while stdio reads credentials from environment variables. Reach for it when agents need focused access to CRM records rather than Apex, metadata administration, or custom-object creation.

Primary Use Cases for Salesforce:
  • Query Salesforce Accounts and Opportunities with SOQL
  • Inspect object fields, picklists, and relationships
  • Search records across Salesforce objects with SOSL
  • Aggregate CRM records with grouped SOQL queries
