What if your AI assistant could securely interact with Salesforce—without ever opening a browser?

In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover how Salesforce Hosted MCPs (Model Context Protocol servers) make it easy to connect AI clients, coding assistants, and custom applications directly to your Salesforce org using trusted, fully managed infrastructure. You'll configure Salesforce Hosted MCPs, connect to live Salesforce data, and build your own custom MCP server that exposes Apex and Flows as AI-powered tools.

By the end of the session, you'll know how to:

• 🚀 Enable and configure Salesforce Hosted MCPs in your org

• 🤖 Connect AI clients to Salesforce using secure authentication

• 📊 Explore and query live Salesforce data through the Headless 360 Playground

• 🛠️ Build a custom MCP server that turns your Flows and Apex into reusable AI tools

• 🔐 Leverage Salesforce's built-in identity, permissions, and governance to create trusted AI experiences

Whether you're a Salesforce developer, architect, or AI enthusiast, this workshop will give you practical experience with one of the most exciting new ways to extend Salesforce beyond the browser—and into the AI tools your users already love.

Please bring your computer to participate in this hands-on session. We will be completing the Explore Salesforce Hosted MCPs workshop together.
