Salesforce Data 360 MCP Server Enters Developer Preview — Three-Tool Facade Architecture

Salesforce Developers Blog·medium signal

Salesforce released an open-source MCP server for its Data 360 APIs, using a novel three-tool facade pattern (Search, Payload Examples, Execute) instead of exposing all ~200 REST operations individually. This solves the context window problem — agents locate capabilities by intent, get JSON templates, then execute, rather than loading hundreds of tool definitions. The server works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex via stdio transport. Requires Java 17+ and a Salesforce org with Data 360 enabled.
