            Connecting MCP Servers to Salesforce

            The process for connecting Salesforce to an MCP server depends on the source of the server. Third-party MCP servers are connected using the Agentforce Registry, and Mulesoft and Salesforce-hosted servers are connected using API Catalog.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Lightning Experience
            Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions. Required add-on licenses vary by agent type.
            Source Connection or Activation Assets
            External / Third party Register in Agentforce Registry. Register a server from scratch or browse and install available partner-built servers in AgentExchange. View and allowlist tools in Agentforce Registry.
            MuleSoft Create connections in API Catalog. View and allowlist tools in API Catalog. See API Catalog documentation.
            Salesforce: Standard or Custom Create or activate in API Catalog. Standard: Determined by Salesforce Custom: Select and add tools from APIs. Add prompts using Prompt Builder. NOTE Agentforce agents currently support MCP tools only.
            Note
            Note Salesforce-hosted MCP servers are only available in API Catalog. Other MCP servers and APIs connected to Salesforce in API Catalog can be viewed in API Catalog or the Agentforce Registry, but they can only be managed in API Catalog. MCP Servers connected to Salesforce through the Agentforce Registry can be viewed in the Agentforce Registry or API Catalog, but they can only be managed in the Agentforce Registry.

            When you connect an MCP server to Salesforce through Agentforce Registry or API Catalog, you allowlist the individual server tools you want to use with Agentforce. The tools are added to the Agentforce asset library as agent actions and are available to add to an agent, just like any other agent action.
