Salesforce MCP Server

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

Features

• 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
• Picklist Value Retrieval: Get all values for any picklist field
• Field Type Filtering: Find fields of specific types across objects
• Relationship Exploration: Analyze parent-child relationships between objects
• Enhanced API Metadata: Access complete object metadata through direct API calls
• Debug Log Management: Configure and retrieve debug logs for Salesforce users
• Validation Rules Management: Get details about validation rules on objects

Prerequisites

1. To run the server in a container, you will need to have Docker installed.
2. Once Docker is installed, you will also need to ensure Docker is running.
3. Pull the image suraj20028/salesforce-mcp-server from docker hub using the command:

   docker pull suraj20028/salesforce-mcp-server
   

4. You will need Salesforce OAuth2 credentials:
   • For OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow: Client ID, Client Secret, and Instance URL
5. As this Project will use OAuth2 auth method, make sure the following are done:

Enable the client credentials flow for your connected app. Under API (Enable OAuth Settings), select Enable Client Credentials Flow. Select an execution user for the flow under Manage Connected Apps

Installation

Usage with VS Code

For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P (or Cmd + Shift + P on macOS) and typing Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON).

Optionally, you can add it to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

Note that the mcp key is not needed in the .vscode/mcp.json file.
