MCP Solutions for Developers
Salesforce offers Model Context Protocol (MCP) solutions that developers can use to access Salesforce features and services through AI applications.
Building custom integrations between AI applications and enterprise platforms typically requires significant development effort for each use case. Model Context Protocol (MCP) eliminates this complexity by providing an open standard that lets AI applications securely interact with external systems and services through pre-built connections. Instead of building custom integrations, developers can use these ready-made MCP servers to instantly connect their AI applications to Salesforce, Heroku, and MuleSoft features and services.
Here's how you interact with MCP-enabled AI solutions:
- From your AI application, ask questions or request actions related to the connected service
- The AI application connects to the appropriate MCP server
- The MCP server securely processes the request on the target platform
- Data or action results return to the AI application
- The AI application displays information or confirms completed actions
This approach transforms development by providing immediate access to enterprise data and services without the need to learn platform-specific APIs, CLIs, or authentication flows. To learn more, review this Salesforce developers blog post: Introducing MCP Support Across Salesforce.
Although MCP solutions are applicable to many types of AI users, this page contains information about how developers can take advantage of MCP solutions at Salesforce.
