Salesforce has released the Data 360 MCP Server as an open-source Developer Preview on GitHub. It connects Salesforce Data 360 APIs to MCP-compatible AI clients like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex via stdio transport. To avoid overwhelming LLM context windows with ~200 REST API operations, the server uses a facade architecture with just three tools: search, payload_examples, and execute. These give AI agents access to tool families covering data streams, identity resolution, SQL transforms, audience segments, RAG/vector search, and more. The server requires Java 17+, Maven 3.9+, and a Salesforce org with Data 360 enabled. A GA release as a Salesforce Hosted MCP Server is planned after the preview period.
