Salesforce Lite is an MCP server that connects AI assistants directly to Salesforce CRM data and operations. Designed as a lightweight solution for developers, sales operations teams, and prototyping projects, it allows language models to interact with customer records securely using OAuth 2.0 authentication. The server exposes tools for querying data via Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL), retrieving specific records, and performing search queries across multiple Salesforce objects. In addition to read operations, it supports full CRUD functionality, enabling assistants to create new entries, update details, or delete records. It also provides metadata tools that let clients inspect object definitions and list available schema entities. By bridging the Model Context Protocol with the Salesforce API, Salesforce Lite enables external tools like Claude Desktop to look up leads, inspect pipeline opportunities, and modify CRM records using conversational instructions without needing complex middleware.
