The facts
What it does, from Salesforce's own pages
- The server
Salesforce Hosted MCP Servers. There are two standard servers: platform/sobject-reads and platform/sobject-all.Source
An older local server, Salesforce DX MCP, reaches end of life on 2 November 2026.Source
- Status
Generally available. Salesforce's own repository says its hosted MCP servers are GA.Source
- Where it runs
Salesforce hosts the servers. The read-only server for a production org is at https://api.salesforce.com/platform/mcp/v1/platform/sobject-reads. Sandbox orgs add a /sandbox/ part to the path.Source
- Reads or changes
platform/sobject-reads reads only. Salesforce says no tool on it can create, update or delete a record.Source
platform/sobject-all gives full read and write access.Source
- Sign-in
OAuth through an External Client App that an admin sets up. A client needs the server URL, the client ID and the client secret.Source
The server acts as the signed-in user and inherits that user's full security context.Source
Every server is off until an administrator turns it on.Source
- Cost and plan
It needs Enterprise Edition or above. Developer Edition orgs can use it too.Source
Each tool call counts against your org's daily API quota.Source
- Connect it to Claude
Salesforce links its own setup guide for Claude from its connection page. Claude calls these connectors: you add the server URL and sign in with the client ID and secret.Source
For a sales team
How a sales team can use it
These are our suggestions, not Salesforce's. We have not tried them on this server.
Start on the read-only server
Ask Claude for open opportunities that close this quarter and have had no activity in 30 days. Nothing can change while you learn how it answers.
Try a sandbox first
Salesforce gives sandbox orgs their own server address. Connect one before production, and watch what Claude asks for without touching live data.
Decide who gets it
The server acts as the signed-in user with that user's full access. A seat with wide access gives Claude wide access, so choose who is set up.
