Via Natural Language (MCP clients)

Once configured, you can use natural language with your AI assistant:

Org Management

• "List all my Salesforce orgs"
• "Show me the connection status of all orgs"

Data Queries

• "Query all accounts in my org"
• "Get all contacts where the email contains 'example.com'"
• "Run this SOQL query: SELECT Id, Name FROM Account LIMIT 10"

Metadata Operations

• "Deploy all metadata to my sandbox"
• "Retrieve the Account object metadata"
• "Deploy only the AccountController class"

Testing

• "Run all Apex tests in my org"
• "Run tests for the AccountTest class"

Data Import

• "Import the accounts.csv file as Account records"

Custom Commands

• "Run the command: org display --target-org myorg"

Development

Testing

Use the MCP Inspector to test your server:

npm run inspector

Development Mode

Run in development mode with auto-rebuild:

npm run dev

Web UI Development

For web UI development, start the HTTP server and make changes to files in the public/ directory:

npm run web

The server will serve static files from the public/ directory automatically.

Security Considerations

This MCP server executes Salesforce CLI commands directly on your system. Ensure that:

1. You trust the AI assistant you're using
2. You have proper backup procedures in place
3. You understand the implications of the commands being executed
4. You review any destructive operations before confirming
5. The HTTP server (if used) is only accessible from trusted networks

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Command not found: sf"

   • Ensure Salesforce CLI is installed and in your PATH

2. "No orgs found"

   • Make sure you have authorized at least one Salesforce org using sf org login web

3. "Permission denied"

   • Ensure the build files have execute permissions: chmod +x build/*.js

4. "Module not found"

   • Run npm install to install dependencies
   • Run npm run build to compile TypeScript

5. "Port already in use"

   • Change the port: MCP_PORT=3001 npm run web

6. Web UI not loading

   • Ensure you've run npm run build first
   • Check that public/index.html exists
   • Verify server is running: curl http://localhost:3000/health
