You can run a Salesforce MCP Server to let Claude interact with your Salesforce data and metadata using natural language. This server translates your questions and commands into Salesforce operations, enabling you to search objects, describe schemas, run queries, manipulate data, manage Apex code, and handle debugging logs with intuitive prompts.

How to use

Launch the Salesforce MCP Server and connect it to Claude through your MCP client. Create natural language prompts to explore Salesforce objects, fetch field details, perform searches across multiple objects, run both simple and aggregate queries, insert, update, delete, and upsert records, and manage Apex code or debug logs. You can also run cross-object searches and manage field-level security as part of routine data operations.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.

npm install -g @tsmztech/mcp-server-salesforce

Additional setup and usage notes

Authentication options include Username/Password with a security token or OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials. When using OAuth, you must provide the exact Salesforce instance URL. Here are the available environment configurations you use with Claude Desktop to start the MCP server.

    "salesforce": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tsmztech/mcp-server-salesforce"],
      "env": {
        "SALESFORCE_CONNECTION_TYPE": "User_Password",
        "SALESFORCE_USERNAME": "your_username",
        "SALESFORCE_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "SALESFORCE_TOKEN": "your_security_token",
        "SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "org_url"        // Optional. Default value: https://login.salesforce.com
      }
    }
  }
}

Security and permissions

By default, Field Level Security is granted to the System Administrator when you create or modify fields. You can use the grantAccessTo parameter to assign permissions to other profiles as needed. Always verify permissions after making changes to sensitive fields like account or opportunity data.

Examples of common tasks

Use natural language prompts to perform these tasks: search for objects, describe object schemas, query accounts and related contacts, aggregate opportunities by stage, create or update custom objects and fields, manage Apex classes and triggers, execute anonymous Apex, and configure or retrieve debug logs.

How to start after configuring

Run the MCP server command through your MCP client using the configuration snippet above. The server will expose endpoints to Claude for object discovery, schema details, data queries, DML operations, Apex code management, and debugging log handling.
