What it does

The server gives the agent Salesforce DX tools for orgs already authorized locally through Salesforce CLI. Tools come in toolsets: orgs, metadata, data, users, testing, code analysis, DevOps, mobile, Aura component analysis and more. The --toolsets and --tools flags pick what is enabled, and --orgs limits which orgs the agent can reach. An experimental mode loads tools on demand to keep context small.

Who it is for. For Salesforce developers and admins who work with Salesforce CLI.

Example request

Deploy the project metadata changes to my sandbox and run the Apex tests

Limitations

Requires a Salesforce account and orgs authorized via Salesforce CLI. Telemetry is on by default; disable it with --no-telemetry. There are over sixty tools, and the vendor advises against enabling all at once. Some tools are not GA and need --allow-non-ga-tools.

How to disable. Remove the Salesforce DX entry from your MCP client config.
