Summary

Salesforce's official MCP server: over 60 tools across 15 toolsets for reading org data, deploying metadata, running Apex tests and building Lightning Web Components.

Features

60+ tools grouped into 15 opt-in toolsets
Deploy and retrieve metadata between a DX project and an org
Query and manage org data and users
Run Apex tests and Salesforce Code Analyzer static analysis
LWC and Aura expert tools, including production-readiness scoring
Explicit per-org authorisation via the --orgs flag
Experimental dynamic tool discovery to reduce context size

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it.
Restart the agent — the "Salesforce DX MCP Server" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salesforce-dx-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@salesforce/mcp",
        "--orgs",
        "DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG",
        "--toolsets",
        "orgs,metadata,data,users"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add salesforce-dx-mcp -- npx -y @salesforce/mcp --orgs DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG --toolsets orgs,metadata,data,users

Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config).

  "mcpServers": {
    "salesforce-dx-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

        "--orgs",
        "DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG",
        "--toolsets",
        "orgs,metadata,data,users"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@salesforce/mcp",
    "--orgs",
    "DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG",
    "--toolsets",
    "orgs,metadata,data,users"
  ]
}

VS Code

Description

The Salesforce DX MCP Server connects an LLM to your authorised Salesforce orgs. It is published by the Salesforce CLI team and is the same tooling surface sf exposes, wrapped so an agent can drive it: read and manage records, deploy and retrieve metadata, run tests, manage users, and get expert guidance on Lightning Web Components and Apex.

Toolsets

The server ships more than 60 tools, grouped into toolsets you enable explicitly - Salesforce specifically recommends not turning them all on, because the full set overwhelms an LLM's context:

core - always enabled
orgs - manage your authorised orgs
data - query and manipulate org data
metadata - deploy and retrieve metadata between your DX project and an org
testing - run Apex and other tests
users - manage org users and permission sets
code-analysis - static analysis via Salesforce Code Analyzer
lwc-experts and experts-validation - LWC development, testing and production-readiness scoring for accessibility, security and best practice
aura-experts - Aura component analysis, blueprinting and migration
devops - read and operate DevOps Center resources
enrichment, mobile, mobile-core, scale-products - metadata enrichment, mobile capabilities, and Apex performance detection

Access control

Org access is explicit and deliberately conservative. The --orgs flag takes DEFAULT_TARGET_ORG, DEFAULT_TARGET_DEV_HUB, a specific username or alias, or ALLOW_ALL_ORGS (to be used with care) - and at least one value is required, so the server never picks up orgs you did not name. --tools enables individual tools alongside whole toolsets, --dynamic-tools (experimental) starts with a minimal core and loads more on demand to save context, --allow-non-ga-tools opts into non-GA tools, and --no-telemetry disables the default data collection.

Configuration snippets are documented for Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and VS Code with Copilot. Apache-2.0 licensed.
