Installation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Salesforce DX": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@salesforce/mcp",
        "--orgs", "DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG",
        "--toolsets", "orgs,metadata,data,users",
        "--tools", "run_apex_tests",
        "--allow-non-ga-tools"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Configuration:

Replace DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG with your authorized Salesforce org. You can specify toolsets and tools as needed.

Common Use Cases

1. Querying Salesforce Data

Retrieve records from Salesforce using natural language queries.

// Example: Get all Accounts with their related Contacts
use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "Salesforce DX",
  tool_name: "data",
  arguments: {
    query: "SELECT Id, Name, (SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName FROM Contacts) FROM Account"
  }
});

2. Managing Salesforce Metadata

Create or modify custom objects and fields.

// Example: Create a new custom object
use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "Salesforce DX",
  tool_name: "metadata",
  arguments: {
    action: "createCustomObject",
    objectName: "MyCustomObject__c",
    label: "My Custom Object"
  }
});

3. Executing Apex Tests

Run specific Apex tests within your Salesforce org.

// Example: Run all tests in a specific Apex class
use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "Salesforce DX",
  tool_name: "run_apex_tests",
  arguments: {
    classNames: ["MyApexTestClass"]
  }
});

4. User Management

Create or update Salesforce users.

// Example: Create a new Salesforce user
use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "Salesforce DX",
  tool_name: "users",
  arguments: {

    username: "[email protected]",
    email: "[email protected]",
    lastName: "User",
    profileId: "Standard User Profile ID"
  }
});
