π New Video: Build a Custom Salesforce MCP Server β REST Classes, Flows & Named Queries
Following the Headless360 announcement at Salesforce TDX 2026, the door is now wide open to build your own MCP server directly inside Salesforce β and connect it to any AI model, including Claude.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I walk you through the entire setup:
β Create an External Client App in your Salesforce Developer Org
β Expose Apex REST Classes as MCP Tools
β Use Salesforce Flows as MCP Tools
β Leverage Apex Aura-Enabled Methods as MCP Tools
β Run Named Queries as MCP Tools
β Test inside VS Code β and then integrate live with Claude
This is the hands-on demo that bridges the gap between the TDX announcement and what you can actually BUILD today.
If you're a Salesforce developer or architect trying to understand how MCP (Model Context Protocol) fits into the Salesforce ecosystem β and how to make Claude actually talk to your org β this one is for you.
π― What you'll walk away with:
β A working Salesforce MCP server you built yourself
β Real understanding of how each tool type (REST, Flow, Named Query) behaves inside an MCP context
β Confidence to extend this to your own Agentforce and automation scenarios
