Claude Salesforce MCP server

Claude Code setup

From a Salesforce DX project, register the server once:

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project sf-intelligence -- npx -y sf-intelligence mcp

Then run a read-only metadata refresh:

npx -y sf-intelligence init
npx -y sf-intelligence refresh --target-org my-org-alias

Works with MCP clients

Client	Use case
Claude Code	Ask org questions from the project where the metadata vault lives
Claude Desktop	Point a desktop assistant at a local read-only Salesforce knowledge base
Cursor	Use org metadata intelligence while editing Salesforce code
Codex	Give coding agents structured, read-only Salesforce context
Any MCP client	Run the same stdio server and call the same 176 read-only tools

Why not use a write-capable server for this?

Deployment and retrieval MCP servers are useful for DevOps. sf-intelligence is deliberately different: it is a Salesforce org intelligence layer. It answers questions about dependencies, permissions, automation, Apex, Flows, and documentation from a local vault, and it has no write path to the org.
