How to Connect Claude to Salesforce with an MCP Server

You can connect Claude to Salesforce by adding an MCP server that has access to Salesforce as a custom connector in Claude. Claude can then read Salesforce records and, with the right permissions, run processes that create or update them, generate documents and notify your team.

What this makes possible

  • Ask Claude for the status of an account and get an answer from live Salesforce data.
  • Generate a quote or contract from an opportunity and send it for e-signature.
  • Turn a won opportunity into an ERP customer and order in NetSuite, SAP or Priority.
  • Summarize open cases for a key customer before a meeting.

How the connection works

Claude does not connect to Salesforce directly. It connects to an MCP server, and the MCP server holds the authenticated Salesforce connection. With the Noca MCP Server for Salesforce, Claude can read Salesforce records with the read-only query_records tool, and can run published Noca flows that work with Salesforce using run_flow.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Connect your Salesforce account in Noca once, so flows and tools can use it.
  2. In Noca, open Security & Credentials, then MCP Server, turn it on and choose the permission groups.
  3. Copy the private MCP Server URL.
  4. In Claude, go to Settings, Connectors, then Add custom connector. Name it, for example “Noca – Prod”, and paste the URL.
  5. Sign in to Noca when prompted.
  6. Open the connector and set each tool to Always allow, Needs approval or Blocked.
  7. Start a chat and ask, for example, “Show me open opportunities over $50,000 closing this month.”

Recommended permissions for Salesforce use

  • Data read for questions about accounts, opportunities and cases.
  • Data write only if Claude should run flows that update Salesforce.
  • Needs approval for any tool that publishes, deletes or changes many records.

Example Claude prompts for Salesforce

  • “Which of my opportunities have not been updated in 14 days?”
  • “Generate the renewal quote for Acme and send it to the decision maker for signature.”
  • “Run the closed-won flow for opportunity 0065g00000ABC.”
