Understanding the Challenge

The biggest challenge in connecting an MCP server with the Agentforce agent is authentication. Currently, only server-level client ID and secret are supported, which may not be ideal for all users. Robbie Duncan, another community member, mentioned that they are working on using per-org JWT authenticated OAuth, but this is not currently supported.

Configuring the Agentforce Registry

To enable the Agentforce registry, you need to submit a case to the partner premier team. This will allow you to add your server details to the registry. Additionally, you may need to create a scratch org with the Agentforce registry enabled, following specific instructions provided by Salesforce.

The root cause of the issue is the lack of support for per-org JWT authenticated OAuth and the need for server-level client ID and secret. This requires users to follow specific instructions and configure their MCP server and Agentforce registry correctly.
