Kognyt vs Salesforce Code Builder
Code Builder connects to your org. Kognyt understands it.
Salesforce Code Builder provides a browser-based development environment with org connectivity. Kognyt's live path today is Kognyt for VS Code plus MCP, which adds deeper AI context for your schema, relationships, automations, and best practices across the tools you already use.
Code Builder gives you a browser development environment. Kognyt gives your AI tools richer Salesforce context through live products you can use now: MCP and Kognyt for VS Code. They can complement each other, but they solve different problems.

The Kognyt advantage
Semantic Org Understanding
Kognyt doesn't just connect to your org — it builds a knowledge graph of objects, fields, relationships, automations, and how they interact.
Works With Any AI Tool
MCP integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI tools. Your Salesforce context follows you instead of staying trapped in one workspace.
Tribal Knowledge Engine
Governor limits, anti-patterns, best practices — codified from senior Salesforce developers and available to your entire team.
Offline Capable
The MCP server runs locally on your machine. No browser tab required, no cloud dependency for intelligence.
