# MCP Solutions for Developers

Salesforce offers [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) solutions that developers can use to access Salesforce features and services through AI applications.

## Background

Building custom integrations between AI applications and enterprise platforms typically requires significant development effort for each use case. [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) eliminates this complexity by providing an open standard that lets AI applications securely interact with external systems and services through pre-built connections. Instead of building custom integrations, developers can use these ready-made MCP servers to instantly connect their AI applications to Salesforce, Heroku, and MuleSoft features and services.

Here's how you interact with MCP-enabled AI solutions:

1. From your AI application, ask questions or request actions related to the connected service
2. The AI application connects to the appropriate MCP server
3. The MCP server securely processes the request on the target platform
4. Data or action results return to the AI application
5. The AI application displays information or confirms completed actions

This approach transforms development by providing immediate access to enterprise data and services without the need to learn platform-specific APIs, CLIs, or authentication flows. To learn more, review this Salesforce developers blog post: [Introducing MCP Support Across Salesforce](https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/2025/06/introducing-mcp-support-across-salesforce).

Although MCP solutions are applicable to many types of AI users, this page contains information about how developers can take advantage of MCP solutions at Salesforce.

## MCP Skill

To register, configure, or manage MCP servers in the Salesforce API Catalog so their assets (tools, prompts, resources) become available as agent actions, use the MCP for Agentforce skill. This skill is included in the [salesforce-development Plugin on Claude Code](https://claude.com/plugins/salesforce-development) and is available in the [Salesforce Skills Library](https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills#salesforce-skills-library) (see [Manage MCP Servers](https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/blob/main/skills/agentforce-generate/SKILL.md#manage-mcp-servers) in the `SKILL.md` file).
