Install Salesforce in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_AUTH_MODE,YOUR_SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env AUTH_MODE=YOUR_AUTH_MODE --env SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID --env SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET --env SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL=YOUR_SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL --transport stdio salesforce-mcp -- docker run -i --rm -e AUTH_MODE -e SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID -e SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET -e SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL ghcr.io/wyre-technology/salesforce-mcp:v1.0.3
  1. Replace YOUR_AUTH_MODE,YOUR_SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of salesforce-mcp.
