# mcp-salesforce-lite

Simple and lightweight Salesforce MCP server for connecting AI assistants to Salesforce data. Ideal for prototyping and small projects.

## Overview

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides AI assistants like Claude with secure access to Salesforce data and operations. It implements the MCP standard to enable seamless integration between AI applications and Salesforce CRM.

## Features

- 🔐 Secure Salesforce authentication via OAuth 2.0
- 📊 Access to Salesforce objects (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, etc.)
- 🔍 SOQL query execution
- 📝 CRUD operations on Salesforce records
- 🛡️ Built-in security and rate limiting
- 🚀 Easy setup and configuration

## Quick Start with Claude Desktop

### Production Usage (Recommended)

The easiest way to use this MCP server is to install it directly from PyPI and configure it with Claude Desktop.

#### Step 1: Configure Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop settings file:

**Configuration File Location:**
- **macOS/Linux:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

**Configuration:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salesforce-lite": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "mcp-salesforce-lite",
        "mcp-salesforce-lite"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SALESFORCE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token",
        "SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "your_instance_url"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Step 2: Set Up Salesforce Credentials

Replace the environment variables in the configuration:
- `SALESFORCE_ACCESS_TOKEN`: Your Salesforce access token
- `SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL`: Your Salesforce instance URL (e.g., `https://yourcompany.my.salesforce.com`)

#### Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop. You should see a hammer icon indicating that tools are available.

#### Step 4: Test the Integration

Try asking Claude:
- "List available Salesforce objects"
- "Describe the Account object"
- "Execute a SOQL query to get recent leads"

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- Salesforce Developer/Production org
- Connected App configured in Salesforce

## Development Setup

If you want to modify or contribute to this MCP server, follow these development setup instructions.

### Installation

#### Option 1: Using uv (Recommended for development)

```bash
# Install uv if you haven't already
brew install uv  # macOS
# or
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh  # Linux/macOS

# Clone and install the server
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-salesforce-lite.git
cd mcp-salesforce-lite
uv sync
```

#### Option 2: Using Poetry

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-salesforce-lite.git
cd mcp-salesforce-lite
poetry install
```

### Salesforce Development Setup

Create a `.env` file in the project root:

```env
SALESFORCE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL=your_instance_url
```

## Usage

### Development Mode

First, make sure you have your Salesforce credentials configured in your `.env` file.

#### Method 1: Direct Python Execution
```bash
# Run the server directly
python src/mcp_salesforce_lite/server.py
```

#### Method 2: Using Poetry
```bash
# Run with Poetry
poetry run python src/mcp_salesforce_lite/server.py
```

#### Method 3: Using UV (Recommended)
```bash
# Run with UV
uv run python src/mcp_salesforce_lite/server.py
```

### Testing with MCP Inspector

If you have the MCP CLI installed, you can test your server:

```bash
# Test with MCP Inspector
mcp inspector

# Or run in development mode
mcp dev src/mcp_salesforce_lite/server.py
```

### How to Release the Server as a Pip Package

The server can be packaged and distributed via PyPI using the included `pyproject.toml` configuration.

## Available Tools

The server provides the following tools that AI assistants can use:

### Query Tools
- `soql_query`: Execute SOQL queries (schema must be defined to carefully ask for confirmation of UPDATE and DELETE operations)
- `search_records`: Search records across multiple objects with limit and pagination
- `get_record`: Retrieve a specific record by ID with limit and pagination

### CRUD Operations
- `create_record`: Create new records (make sure to describe_object first, and find the reference fields of the objects)
- `update_record`: Update existing records
- `delete_record`: Delete records

### Metadata Tools
- `describe_object_definition`: Get object metadata and field information with pagination
- `list_avail_objects`: List available Salesforce objects with limit and pagination

## Development Claude Desktop Integration

If you're developing or running the server from source, you can use these alternative configurations:

**💡 Tip:** Example configuration files are provided in the `examples/` directory:
- `examples/claude_config_direct.json` - Direct Python execution
- `examples/claude_config_poetry.json` - Poetry execution
- `examples/claude_config_uv.json` - UV execution (recommended)

### Option 1: Direct Python Execution
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salesforce-lite": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/mcp-salesforce-lite/src/mcp_salesforce_lite/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "SALESFORCE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token",
        "SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "your_instance_url"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 2: Poetry Execution
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salesforce-lite": {
      "command": "poetry",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/mcp-salesforce-lite",
        "run",
        "python",
        "src/mcp_salesforce_lite/server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SALESFORCE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token",
        "SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "your_instance_url"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 3: UV Execution (Recommended for Development)
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salesforce-lite": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/mcp-salesforce-lite",
        "run",
        "python",
        "src/mcp_salesforce_lite/server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SALESFORCE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token",
        "SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "your_instance_url"
