Introducing MCP Apex SDK by Advanced Communities: Connect Salesforce Directly with AI like ChatGPT API and Claude
Salesforce AI integration is no longer just a future vision — it’s here, and it’s easier than ever. At Advanced Communities, our development team has created the MCP Apex SDK, a powerful open-source toolkit that connects Salesforce directly with AI solutions like ChatGPT API, Claude, or any other Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible client.
With just a few lines of Apex code, you can make your Salesforce data, processes, and custom objects instantly AI-accessible — all without middleware or complex integrations.
What is the MCP Apex SDK?
The MCP Apex SDK brings the Model Context Protocol natively into Salesforce. MCP is a modern standard that lets AI assistants securely access tools, data, and logic from external systems. Our SDK makes it possible for Salesforce developers to expose org data and business processes to AI clients — directly from within Salesforce.
Key capabilities include:
- Build native MCP servers in Apex — no separate infrastructure needed.
- Connect Salesforce directly to AI clients like Claude Desktop or the OpenAI API.
- Expose custom objects, business logic, and workflows to AI tools.
- Build complete AI-powered use cases in minutes.
Why This Matters and How You Can Use It
Traditionally, connecting Salesforce with AI tools meant building an external API or middleware layer, handling complex authentication and data transfers between systems, and maintaining separate servers or codebases. The MCP Apex SDK removes all of that complexity. Everything runs inside Salesforce, keeping data secure while enabling you to build AI-powered capabilities much faster — and without the need to configure or maintain any middleware.
One of our demos shows an AI assistant booking a car service appointment entirely within Salesforce:
- The AI asks for available time slots.
- Salesforce queries the data in real time and returns results.
- The AI confirms the booking, and Salesforce updates the record.
From the user’s perspective, it’s as easy as having a conversation. Behind the scenes, the entire workflow is powered by just a handful of Apex methods exposed via MCP.
It’s a model for how businesses can allow AI to interact with any Salesforce process: creating opportunities, updating records, generating reports, or even triggering custom automation.
