Salesforce MCP Lite Server

Provides secure access to Salesforce data and operations for MCP-enabled AI assistants.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "luvl-mcp-salesforce-lite": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "mcp-salesforce-lite",
        "mcp-salesforce-lite"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SALESFORCE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token",
        "SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "your_instance_url"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can connect Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible assistants to Salesforce data with a lightweight, secure MCP server. It supports OAuth 2.0 authentication, querying Salesforce objects, CRUD operations, and safe usage patterns suitable for prototyping and small projects.

How to use

You run the MCP server locally and connect it to your AI assistant. Use it to list Salesforce objects, retrieve records, run SOQL queries, and perform create, update, or delete operations against your Salesforce data. The server is designed to be simple to set up and to provide secure access with built-in rate limiting.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Python 3.10 or higher and a Salesforce Dev/Production org with a configured Connected App for OAuth access.

Install the MCP Salesforce Lite server from PyPI and then run it using the MCP runtime tool to connect with your AI assistant.

Additional notes

The server is designed for practical use with Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible assistant. To connect, you configure your client to launch the MCP server and pass Salesforce credentials through environment variables. You can manage Salesforce access tokens and instance URLs securely in your deployment.
