How to do the enterprise level setup of Tableau MCP with Claude. Say if I have 200 claude licenses do I need to do configuration on all those 200 devices for the same site in order to have my MCP client running? @tableau AI

Connecting Salesforce to Claude AI via MCP — A Complete Developer’s Guide
The Model Context Protocol (MCP)
is the key that unlocks this integration. Originally created by Anthropic, MCP is an open standard that lets AI models like Claude connect to external tools and data sources through a single, unified interface. Salesforce has embraced it wholeheartedly — and in these two videos, I will walk you through exactly how to wire it all up.
Whether you want to use Salesforce's pre-built Hosted MCP Servers (Part 1) or build your own custom MCP server
inside Salesforce with Apex classes, Flows, and Named Queries (Part 2), this guide covers it all.
🚀 New Video: Build a Custom Salesforce MCP Server — 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 — and connect it to any AI model, including Claude.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I walk you through the entire setup:
✅ Create an External Client App in your Salesforce Developer Org
✅ Expose Apex REST Classes as MCP Tools
✅ Use Salesforce Flows as MCP Tools
✅ Leverage Apex Aura-Enabled Methods as MCP Tools
✅ Run Named Queries as MCP Tools
✅ Test inside VS Code — 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 — and how to make Claude actually talk to your org — this one is for you.
🎯 What you'll walk away with:
→ A working Salesforce MCP server you built yourself
→ Real understanding of how each tool type (REST, Flow, Named Query) behaves inside an MCP context
→ Confidence to extend this to your own Agentforce and automation scenarios

I'm trying to register a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with Agentforce Registry as an External Service, but getting this error:
We couldn't connect to the MCP server. Check the Server URL and try again.
API Catalog Error fetching server definition APPX: Exception occurred while retrieving service descriptor, ExternalServiceException:errorFetchMcpServerDefinition
However, my server logs show all requests are succeeding:
- GET /mcp/http → 200 OK (returns server discovery metadata)
- POST /oauth2/token → 201 Created (returns access token)
- POST /mcp/http (initialize) → 201 Created (MCP initialize handshake)
- POST /mcp/http (notifications/initialized) → 201 Created
The server correctly implements:
- OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow
- MCP HTTP transport with JSON-RPC 2.0
- Server discovery endpoint returning protocol version 2025-06-18
Questions:
1. Are there additional requirements for MCP server registration beyond successful API calls?
2. Does ExternalServiceException:errorFetchMcpServerDefinition indicate a specific validation failure?
3. Are there logs or debugging tools in Salesforce to see why registration fails after successful connection?
4. Is there a specific response format or schema the API Catalog expects that might not be documented?
Any guidance would be appreciated!

Scaling your Agentic Architecture: MCP Servers in GA
If you have been working with the MCP beta or architecting away from legacy REST integrations, the March edition of our Agentforce NOW session is the technical deep dive for you.
As Salesforce-hosted MCP servers reach GA this Spring, this month’s edition of our popular Ask Me Anything series will enable developers to expose existing Salesforce logic (Apex, REST APIs, AI, Metadata) as a mix of Tools and Prompts. Product Manager expert @Ross Belmont will showcase moving beyond one-off REST API connectors to standardized, agentic workflows, implementing standards-based authentication for agent-driven operations, and managing governance as the agent landscape scales.
This is a great opportunity to get into the weeds on operational flow, named credentials, and the security models that make these integrations enterprise-ready. Hosted by Salesforce Developer Advocate @Alba Rivas, they'll answer your questions live during the session.

Join the February edition of Agentforce NOW Ask Me Anything!
This session explores the Agentforce MCP (Model Context Protocol) Client and Gateway—foundational technology in Agentforce 360 that lets you securely bring your own or third-party MCP servers into Agentforce, with built-in governance and controls.
In the February edition of Agentforce NOW Ask Me Anything, Product Managers Pragya Anand and Moe Basi, hosted by developer advocate Mohith Shrivastava, will share how Agent Gateway serves as an "agentic drawbridge," providing a central control point for managing interactions and enforcing enterprise-grade security policy before taking your questions live.
