# Develop with Data 360

Build, automate, and extend your data strategy using developer tools and APIs to create seamless integrations and custom solutions within Data 360.

- **[Connect Agents Using Data 360 MCP Server](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_cdp_2026_summer_data_360_mcp_server.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    The Data 360 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server connects Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI client to real-time, unified customer data from Data 360. Use the MCP Server to enable agents that work directly with Data 360.
- **[Execute SQL Queries from Apex](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_cdp_2026_summer_apex_sfsqlquery.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    Get to a working Data 360-powered Apex app faster. The new sfsqlquery namespace gives Apex developers production-ready SQL execution out of the box. Use these classes to run queries synchronously with row-by-row iteration or asynchronously with chained queueable jobs, complete with typed data accessors and test mocking utilities.
- **[Manage Clean Room Operations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_cdp_2026_summer_connect_api_clean_room.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    Streamline clean room collaboration management and connectivity tasks programmatically with the Connect API. Use these new endpoints to manage key clean room workflows across setup, maintenance, and validation.
- **[Manage Retriever Operations (Pilot)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_cdp_2026_summer_connect_api_retrievers.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    Programmatically manage retrievers in Data 360 with the Connect API. Retrievers query data from Data 360 objects or search indexes to enhance agent responses with relevant customer data. Use these new endpoints to create, configure, and validate retrievers across NoCode, Custom SQL, and Ensemble query types.
- **[Standard DMOs, Data Bundles, and Mappings (Developer Preview)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_cdp_2026_summer_dmo_doc_initial.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    Salesforce now offers standard data model objects (DMOs), data bundles, and mappings out of the box for new customers. These DMOs feature a new schema distinct from the previous versions, which are now referred to as legacy DMOs.
