# Salesforce MCP Server
[](https://securityscorecards.dev/viewer/?uri=github.com/tsmztech/mcp-server-salesforce)
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

## Setup
### Salesforce Authentication
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. Salesforce CLI Authentication (Recommended for local/dev) (contribution by @andrea9293)
1. Install and authenticate Salesforce CLI (`sf`).
2. Make sure your org is authenticated and accessible via `sf org display --json` in the root of your Salesforce project.
3. The server will automatically retrieve the access token and instance url using the CLI.
### Usage with Claude Desktop
Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
#### For Salesforce CLI Authentication:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@tsmztech/mcp-server-salesforce"],
"env": {
"SALESFORCE_CONNECTION_TYPE": "Salesforce_CLI"
}
}
}
}
```
#### For Username/Password Authentication:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"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
}
}
}
}
```
#### For OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@tsmztech/mcp-server-salesforce"],
"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
}
}
}
}
```
> **Note**: For OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow, the `SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL` must be your exact Salesforce instance URL (e.g., `https://your-domain.my.salesforce.com`). The token endpoint will be constructed as `<instance_url>/services/oauth2/token`.
