# Enable AI Assistants to More Efficiently Find and Create Salesforce Metadata (Beta)

The Salesforce API Context MCP server now has five Metadata API Context MCP tools instead of one. These more granular tools mean that AI agent queries can be targeted, response times are faster, and your token usage can be more efficient. The Metadata API Context MCP tools provide contextual information about Salesforce metadata types to help generate accurate Salesforce metadata files. These tools give you complete field definitions, valid values, constraints, and examples for metadata types.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience in Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions that have API Enabled.
