AI-powered Salesforce platform development in Claude Code
The foundation plugin for building apps and agents on the Salesforce Platform. When you open Claude Code in a Salesforce DX project, this plugin auto-detects your environment, injects org context, and provides AI assistance through validated skills, the Salesforce CLI, and Salesforce hosted MCP servers. The plugin uses this three-tier capability resolution: Skills (primary) → Salesforce CLI (secondary) → Salesforce MCP (last resort). Simply use natural language to describe what you want to build — no need to memorize any slash commands.
Quick Start
This quick start describes the required software you must install, how to authorize your Salesforce org, and how to install this plugin from Anthropic's official Claude Code plugin marketplace.
- Install prerequisites:
- Claude Code — requires Claude Code 2.1.222 or later
- Node.js LTS. The bundled language servers run under
node. - Salesforce CLI. The MCP host and deploy hooks shell out to
sf. - Python 3.8+. The org-detection, deploy-safety, and agent-validation hooks use Python under the hood.
- Authorize your Salesforce org. From a terminal or command window, use the
org login webSalesforce CLI command which opens a browser where you log into your org with your authentication credentials:
sf org login web --alias my-org --set-default- In Claude Code, install the plugin from the official
claude-plugins-officialmarketplace (pre-registered, nomarketplace addneeded):
/plugin install salesforce-development@claude-plugins-officialAlternatively, install from the Salesforce-hosted marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add forcedotcom/sf-skills
