Background and Current Status

Teams running Agentforce often look for ways to integrate with external MCP servers, but the current status of this feature has been unclear.

As of the latest update, MCP support in Agentforce has moved to a closed beta phase, which means it is not yet generally available to all users.

Enabling MCP Support in Agentforce

To enable MCP support in Agentforce, users typically need to have their Account Team verify availability for the closed beta.

Once the feature is enabled, users can expect to find options for adding or registering an MCP server within the Agentforce Agent Builder or through related setup configurations.

The root cause of the issue is that the MCP support feature is still in a closed beta phase and has not been rolled out to all Agentforce users yet.

Given the current status, users looking to connect a remote MCP server to Agentforce should first check with their Account Team about joining the closed beta.

Alternatively, for those who cannot join the beta, exploring MuleSoft MCP connectors or wrapping APIs might be a recommended workaround, although this should be approached with caution and thorough evaluation of the integration requirements.

Workarounds and Next Steps

For users who cannot access the MCP support feature in Agentforce, several workarounds can be considered, including leveraging MuleSoft connectors or custom API integrations.

Example MCP API Call

/* Example of making an API call to an MCP server */
var MCPServerUrl = "https://example-mcp-server.com/api/endpoint";
var request = new HttpRequest(MCPServerUrl, 'POST');
request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
request.setBody(JSON.stringify({"key":"value"}));
var response = request.send();

Heads up: When exploring workarounds, ensure that any custom integration or API call is properly secured and compliant with data protection policies.

In conclusion, while MCP support in Agentforce is not yet generally available, users can look into joining the closed beta or exploring alternative integration methods.
