Try Headless 360

In this quick start, you'll connect Claude to Salesforce through Salesforce Hosted MCPs. Salesforce remains the system of record, Salesforce controls sign-in, and Claude can call Salesforce MCP tools only as the logged-in user is allowed to.

What you'll build

• A Salesforce Developer Edition org with Salesforce Hosted MCP servers enabled.
• A Salesforce external client app configured for OAuth access.
• A Claude connector that reads Salesforce records through the sobject-reads MCP server.

Before you start

You need:

• Access to a Salesforce Developer Edition org, or permission to create one.
• A Claude account with access to add custom connectors or MCP integrations.
• An email inbox you can access for Salesforce and OAuth verification messages.

TIP

Claude UI labels can change. If a screenshot differs from what you see, follow the intent of the step: create a custom connector, point it at the Salesforce Hosted MCP server URL, use OAuth, and sign in with Salesforce.
