Salesforce MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation that integrates Claude with Salesforce, enabling natural language interactions with your Salesforce data and metadata. This server allows Claude to query, modify, and manage your Salesforce objects and records using everyday language.

Features

* Object and Field Management: Create and modify custom objects and fields using natural language
* Smart Object Search: Find Salesforce objects using partial name matches
* Detailed Schema Information: Get comprehensive field and relationship details for any object
* Flexible Data Queries: Query records with relationship support and complex filters
* Data Manipulation: Insert, update, delete, and upsert records with ease
* Cross-Object Search: Search across multiple objects using SOSL
* Apex Code Management: Read, create, and update Apex classes and triggers
* Intuitive Error Handling: Clear feedback with Salesforce-specific error details

Installation

``bash
npm install -g @answerai/salesforce-mcp
`

Tools

$3

Search for standard and custom objects:
* Search by partial name matches
* Finds both standard and custom objects
* Example: "Find objects related to Account" will find Account, AccountHistory, etc.

Setup

$3

You can connect to Salesforce using one of three authentication methods:

#### 1. Username/Password Authentication (Default)
1. Set up your Salesforce credentials
2. Get your security token (Reset from Salesforce Settings)

#### 2. OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow
1. Create a Connected App in Salesforce
2. Enable OAuth settings and select "Client Credentials Flow"
3. Set appropriate scopes (typically "api" is sufficient)
4. Save the Client ID and Client Secret
5. Important: Note your instance URL (e.g., https://your-domain.my.salesforce.com) as it's required for authentication

#### 3. Personal OAuth Authentication (Server-Side Token Management)
For automated OAuth token management (recommended for personal use):

1. Create a Connected App in Salesforce
2. Enable OAuth settings (callback URL not required for server-side token refresh)
3. Set OAuth scopes: api, id, refresh_token
4. Save the Client ID and Client Secret
5. Perform OAuth flow once to get a refresh token (use any valid callback URL during initial setup)
6. Configure the refresh token in environment variables - the server will automatically refresh access tokens as needed

$3

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

#### For Username/Password Authentication:
`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@answerai/salesforce-mcp"],
"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
}
}
}
}
`

#### For OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow:
`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@answerai/salesforce-mcp"],
"env": {
"SALESFORCE_CONNECTION_TYPE": "OAuth_2.0_Client_Credentials",
"SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
"SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
"SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "https://your-domain.my.salesforce.com" // REQUIRED: Must be your exact Salesforce instance URL
}
}
}
}
`

#### For Personal OAuth Authentication:
`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@answerai/salesforce-mcp"],
"env": {
"SALESFORCE_CONNECTION_TYPE": "OAuth_2_0_Personal",
"SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
"SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
"SALESFORCE_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token",
"SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "https://your-domain.my.salesforce.com"
}
}
}
}
`

> Note: The server automatically manages access tokens using the configured refresh token. Before each API call, it will refresh the access token if needed, ensuring all operations have valid authentication. No client-side token management is required.

The server automatically:

- Refreshes access tokens before each API call if needed

- Handles token expiration transparently

- Manages all OAuth complexity server-side
