Log In to Your Org
Your MCP client authenticates with your org by using OAuth in a web browser. The MCP specification doesn't support multitenant systems like Salesforce, so you must follow these additional steps:
-
Log out of all other Salesforce Orgs.
-
Using your default browser, log in to the Org that you want to access from your MCP client.
- Be sure to log in to the Org that contains the External Client App you created in the previous step.
-
Keep the browser open, since the MCP client will open a new tab in that browser window in a later step.
These pre-authentication steps help prevent common authentication failures when connecting MCP clients. By ensuring you're logged into only the target Org before initiating the OAuth flow, you avoid multi-tenant confusion that can cause connection issues.
After completing these steps, proceed to configure your MCP client.
