Business Users
Use AI features already built into Salesforce to get more done. No setup beyond enabling access.
| My situation | My next step |
|---|---|
| I want to use Salesforce in Claude. | Start with Salesforce in Claude. |
| I want to use Slackbot. | Start with AI in Slack. |

| I don’t know if I have the right license. | Contact your Account Executive (AE). |
Builders
Headless access connects any AI tool directly to your org, using MCP tools, prebuilt skills, and CLI commands, all with inherited platform governance. Find the connection path that fits what you're building.
| My situation | My next step |
|---|---|
| I’m an admin who wants to configure my org with the right permissions. | Use Setup with Agentforce. |
| I'm an admin who wants to connect data sources or manage user access for Agentforce Coworker. | Use Agentforce Coworker. |
| I'm an admin or business analyst building Flow Builder automations. | Use Agentforce for Flow (Beta). |
| I want a ready-to-use, browser-based experience for building an app or agent. | Use the Agentforce Vibes IDE (no install required) or Builder Central (Beta) (Salesforce’s natural-language build tool). |
| I'm an admin or business analyst building custom metadata, apps, and agents for my org. | Use Builder Central (Beta), Salesforce’s natural-language build tool. |
| I already use an IDE, such as VS Code, and want to build an app or agent. | Use Agentforce Vibes, Salesforce’s secure AI-powered developer tool. Optionally, add the Headless 360 MCP Server (Beta) for more capabilities. |
| I use Claude Code for hands-on automation or development. | Use the Salesforce Development plugin for Claude Code. Optionally, add the Headless 360 MCP Server (Beta) for more capabilities. |
| I'm in a highly regulated industry, or security/compliance requirements keep me from using external AI tools such as Claude or Codex. | Use Agentforce Vibes, Salesforce’s secure AI-powered developer tool. |
| I'm a MuleSoft developer who wants a browser-based, pro-code building experience for APIs. | Use MuleSoft Vibes. |
| I use standalone products (Tableau, MuleSoft, Slack, Heroku, Informatica) but don’t have a Salesforce org. | The product-specific MCP server is recommended. See the MCP Server Reference. |
