# Access Lifecycle Center MCP Tools

Set up Salesforce DX MCP Server for use with Agentforce Vibes IDE, integrated with Agentforce Vibes Extension as the MCP client. Use prompts in Agentforce, a part of Agentforce Vibes Extension, to do common DevOps tasks, like managing work items, and resolving merge conflicts.

Although this example uses Agentforce Vibes IDE and Agentforce, you can configure other clients, such as Cursor or Claude Desktop. To use Visual Studio Code (VS Code) as the MCP client, see [Quick Start Using the VS Code With Copilot MCP Client](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_mcp_get_started.htm).

Before you use the Lifecycle Center MCP tools, review the [Salesforce DX MCP server prerequisites](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_mcp_get_started.htm) and make sure that you have:

- An org with Lifecycle Center installed and configured
- A Lifecycle Center project connected to a version control system and a pipeline
- An IDE, such as Agentforce Vibes IDE or Visual Studio Code (VS Code), that your Salesforce admin has accepted the Terms and Conditions for
- A configured IDE project. To learn how, see [Create Projects](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/code-builder/guide/codebuilder-create-projects.html).
- An IDE installed in the same Salesforce org where your Lifecycle Center is installed. Connect and authenticate your IDE to this org.
- A cloned project repository open in your IDE’s workspace
- An MCP client, such as the Agentforce Vibes Extension. For setup instructions, see [Set Up Agentforce Vibes Extension](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/einstein-for-devs/guide/einstein-setup.html).

Salesforce DX MCP Server is preconfigured in Agentforce Vibes Extension. Open your IDE and turn on Salesforce DX MCP Server in Agentforce Vibes Extension. See [Enable Salesforce DX MCP Server](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/einstein-for-devs/guide/devagent-mcp.html#enable-salesforce-dx-mcp-server). 

You interact with the server by entering natural language prompts in Agentforce. Agentforce Vibes is available from the Activity Bar and includes a chat window where you enter your prompts. For examples of prompts that you can use, see [Resolve Merge Conflicts with Lifecycle Center MCP Tools](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.devops_center_mcp_resolve_merge_conflicts.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Detect, analyze, and resolve merge conflicts directly within your workflow. You can start this process using the Resolve with Agentforce option in the Lifecycle Center UI, which opens the Agentforce Vibes IDE with the Agentforce Vibes Extension and adds the conflict details to your prompt."). When you enter a prompt, Salesforce DX MCP Server determines the appropriate Lifecycle Center MCP tool to run. It then shows it to you along with other information. You can click **Continue** to run the tool and see the results of your request.
