What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Before MCP, each of those actions required a unique API, custom logic, and developer
time to glue it all
SharePoint files,
Database
Records
Exposes data and
content that can be
read by Agents
Vector DB, Web
Search, API calls
Exposes tools that can
modify state or interact
with external systems
Reusable prompt
templates defined by
the MCP server for the
Agent to use
“Here's an errorI'm
seeing: ${error}”
Roots are a way to
inform a server about
relevant resources and
their locations

The Architecture of MCP
Salesforce + MCP
“Before MCP, Salesforce’s journey involved
integrating Agentforce and Data Cloud to move
toward AI-enabled workflows, but with siloed
tools and manual effort.
MCP now provides a unified, secure, and
scalable way to allow AI agents to automate and
orchestrate workflows seamlessly across the
CRM ecosystem, unlocking the true AI-native
CRM vision.”

• Lead is automatically enriched and scored
before rep touches it.
• Saves time, improves conversion.
Customer Service Case Triage (Service Cloud)
With MCP:
• MCP lets AI agents pull customer billing,
warranty, and compliance data in real time.
• Case is triaged, routed, and pre-populated
with resolution steps.
• First-call resolution improves dramatically.
Real-World Agent Use Cases
Order-to-Cash Automation (CPQ + Billing +
ERP)
With MCP:
• Salesforce MCP client securely connects to
ERP/payment gateways.
• Orders auto-validated, invoices generated,
payments tracked.
• End-to-end Lead → Quote → Cash
automated with governance.

only masked data” or “run AML check
before onboarding”).
• Audit trail logged automatically.
• Reduces risk of penalties while speeding
onboarding/service.
