sf-intelligence vs Sweep
They aim at different people. Sweep is a cloud agentic layer for enterprise GTM/RevOps teams across many systems; sf-intelligence is a free, offline, read-only MCP server that gives AI coding agents a local map of one Salesforce org. Here's an honest comparison.
Short answer: Sweep is a cloud-hosted "agentic layer" that maps and coordinates multiple enterprise systems (Salesforce, Snowflake, ServiceNow, HubSpot) with visual workspaces and metadata agents - built for RevOps, GTM, and admin teams. sf-intelligence is a free, open-source, offline, read-only MCP server that gives an AI coding agent a local metadata knowledge base of a single Salesforce org. Different audience, different trust model: Sweep runs in its cloud; sf-intelligence runs on your machine.
At a glance
| sf-intelligence | Sweep | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Offline MCP server + CLI for AI agents | Cloud agentic layer for enterprise systems |
| Delivery | Local (npm package, runs on your machine) | Cloud-hosted SaaS |
| Where your metadata lives | Your machine only | The vendor's cloud |
| Cost | Free (MIT + Commons Clause) | Freemium (free tier; paid plans) |
| Open source | Yes - audit the code | No |
| Works offline | Yes - after one retrieve | No - cloud service |
| Scope | One Salesforce org's metadata | Multi-system (Salesforce, Snowflake, ServiceNow, HubSpot…) |
| Primary user | Developers & AI coding agents | RevOps, GTM leadership, business-systems admins |
| Focus | Metadata depth: impact, permissions, Apex, Flows | GTM ops: routing, dedup, pipeline, visual mapping |
| Write access | None (read-only) | Builds/automates in the connected systems |
| MCP | Native - it is an MCP server | Lists MCP as a capability |
Choose sf-intelligence when you want to…
- Give an AI coding agent deep, grounded context on one Salesforce org - offline and read-only
- Keep org metadata on your machine (no cloud upload)
- Ask developer-grade questions: blast radius, permission cascades, Apex/Flow dependencies
- Use a free, open-source tool with no write path to production
Choose Sweep when you want to…
- A cloud platform for revenue operations across multiple systems, not just Salesforce
- Visual org/workspace mapping and GTM automation (lead routing, dedup)
- A shared, team-facing dashboard for admins and operations leaders
- Cross-system metadata coordination beyond a single org
Different layers
Sweep operates at the business-operations layer across many systems; sf-intelligence operates at the developer/AI layer for one org's metadata. A RevOps team could run Sweep while its developers use sf-intelligence to feed AI coding agents a local, read-only view of the Salesforce org - the two don't overlap much in practice.
Disclaimer: This comparison reflects publicly documented positioning as of 2026 and is written to be fair. Sweep's feature set and pricing evolve - verify current details on their site. sf-intelligence is an independent project, not affiliated with Sweep or Salesforce.
Local, read-only, free.
Deep metadata context for your AI agent - on one org, on your machine.
