# API Catalog

Centralize and manage your services, such as APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, in one place with API Catalog. Bring in APIs from sources like MuleSoft, Heroku, and Apex to use in Agentforce agents and flows. Create and activate Salesforce-hosted MCP servers to use with Agentforce and supported external MCP clients. Register external MCP servers, including MuleSoft servers, to use with Agentforce.

- **[Authenticate to External MCP Servers with Per-User Credentials in API Catalog and Headlessly](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_api_catalog_per_user_auth_ext_mcp_servers.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Let your users access an external MCP server through OAuth 2.0 browser flows with their own credentials instead of a shared system-to-system connection. Register the server with an external credential that provides per-user authentication.
- **[Create Custom Salesforce-Hosted MCP Servers Headlessly](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_api_catalog_connect_rest_api_custom_mcp_servers.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create custom Salesforce-hosted MCP servers through the API Catalog Connect REST API. Use the API in headless workflows to create servers that expose tools and prompts to Agentforce and supported MCP clients.
