Note Rule-based policies are automatically applied to MCP servers and agents that meet the conditions you specified, so they can’t be managed from an MCP server record page. To apply or remove a rule-based policy, edit the policy rules in Policy Builder.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Agentforce, and then select **Agentforce Registry**.
2. Click the name of the server you want to edit, and then select the **Policies** tab. If you’ve added any policies that apply to your server, they appear here.
3. To apply a policy, click **Apply Policy**.
    1. Select an existing MCP server policy available to apply manually, and then click **Apply Policy**.
    2. To create a new policy instead, click **Create Policy** to launch Policy Builder.

You can create, apply, and remove policies from Policy Builder in [Agentforce Gateway](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agentforce_gateway_policies.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use Agentforce gateway policies to protect connections to your external APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Control access, set usage limits, and ensure compliance."). From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Agentforce Gateway, and then select **Policies**.
