## Setup
### Salesforce Authentication
You can authenticate with Salesforce using one of two methods:
#### 1. Username/Password Authentication
1. Set up your Salesforce credentials
2. Get your security token (Reset from Salesforce Settings)
3. Configure the environment variables as shown in the configuration section
#### 2. OAuth2 Authentication with Consumer Key/Secret
1. Set up a Connected App in Salesforce
2. Get the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret
3. Configure the environment variables as shown in the configuration section
### IDE Integration
#### Cursor IDE Setup
1. Install the package globally:
```bash
npm install -g @surajadsul02/mcp-server-salesforce
```
2. Configure the MCP server in Cursor IDE `.cursor/mcp.json`:
##### Using env Command
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "env",
"args": [
"SALESFORCE_USERNAME=your.actual.email@example.com",
"SALESFORCE_PASSWORD=YourActualPassword123",
"SALESFORCE_TOKEN=YourActualSecurityToken123",
"SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL=https://login.salesforce.com",
"npx",
"-y",
"@surajadsul02/mcp-server-salesforce"
]
}
}
}
```
##### For OAuth2 Authentication in Cursor
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "env",
"args": [
"SALESFORCE_USERNAME=your.actual.email@example.com",
"SALESFORCE_PASSWORD=YourActualPassword123",
"SALESFORCE_TOKEN=YourActualSecurityToken123",
"SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL=https://login.salesforce.com",
"SALESFORCE_CONSUMER_KEY=YourConsumerKey",
"SALESFORCE_CONSUMER_SECRET=YourConsumerSecret",
"npx",
"-y",
"@surajadsul02/mcp-server-salesforce"
]
}
}
}
```
#### Claude Desktop Setup
1. Install the package globally (if not already installed):
```bash
npm install -g @surajadsul02/mcp-server-salesforce
```
2. Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
##### For Username/Password Authentication
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"salesforce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@surajadsul02/mcp-server-salesforce"],
"env": {
"SALESFORCE_USERNAME": "your_username",
"SALESFORCE_PASSWORD": "your_password",
"SALESFORCE_TOKEN": "your_security_token",
"SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_URL": "https://login.salesforce.com"
