How to Connect Salesforce to Cursor — via MCP

There is no ready-made AnythingMCP connector for Salesforce yet. Salesforce is not in the AnythingMCP connector catalog, on Cloud or self-hosted. This guide covers what works today: Salesforce's own MCP offering, or importing the Salesforce REST API into AnythingMCP yourself and connecting it to Cursor.

Salesforce + Cursor

Salesforce's own MCP server

Salesforce offers Salesforce Hosted MCP Servers, generally available since April 2026 for orgs on Enterprise Edition and above. They run inside Salesforce, sign in with OAuth and respect your org's permissions; see Salesforce's announcement for setup.

Step 1 — Get Salesforce credentials

In Salesforce Setup, create an OAuth app (an External Client App, or use an existing Connected App) with OAuth enabled, the scopes api and refresh_token, and as callback URL the one AnythingMCP shows when you choose OAuth 2.0 (on Cloud: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/api/mcp-oauth/callback). Copy its consumer key and secret.

Step 2 — Import the Salesforce API into AnythingMCP

Sign in to AnythingMCP Cloud (7-day free trial) or run your own instance with Docker:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

1. Go to Connectors → Add Connector and choose REST API.
2. Enter https://your-domain.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v66.0 as the Base URL.
3. Under Authentication, choose OAuth 2.0 and enter the consumer key and secret, the authorization URL https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize, the token URL https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token and the scopes api refresh_token. After saving, click Authorize with Provider on the connector page and sign in to Salesforce.
4. Create the connector, then import the endpoints you need on its page as cURL Command (Salesforce's API reference has an example for each), or add tools by hand.
5. Under MCP Servers, open your server and switch the new connector on.

Replace your-domain with your My Domain and v66.0 with an API version your org supports. Salesforce publishes no single OpenAPI file for its REST API, because every org has its own objects and fields, so add the endpoints you need by cURL. The SOQL query endpoint (/query?q=…) on its own covers most read questions.

What you can expose once it's imported

The tools depend on the endpoints you import. For example:

• Run SOQL queries across accounts, contacts, opportunities and cases
• Read a record by its ID
• Create a lead or a case
• Update an opportunity's stage, amount or close date

Step 3 — Add the connector in Cursor

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Create an MCP API key in AnythingMCP under MCP Servers → your server → API keys, and paste it in place of YOUR_MCP_API_KEY.
2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP and check that anythingmcp is listed and connected.
4. Start chatting — the agent can now call the Salesforce tools you imported.

Self-hosting? Use your own instance's address instead of https://cloud.anythingmcp.com.

FAQ

Is there a ready-made Salesforce connector in AnythingMCP? Not yet. Salesforce is not in the connector catalog, so there is nothing to install in one click: import its API as shown above, or use Salesforce's own MCP offering if it covers what you need.

Does Cursor support custom MCP servers on the free tier? Yes — MCP is available on Hobby, Pro and Business plans.
