Kognyt MCP Docs

Everything you need to install Platform Intelligence in any MCP-compatible AI tool.

This page is for MCP setup

Use these docs when you want Salesforce Platform Intelligence in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

Need connected-org work?

For Org Context in a real Salesforce sandbox or production org, explore Kognyt for VS Code or see the full pricing guide.

// OVERVIEW

What is Kognyt MCP?

Kognyt MCP is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides Salesforce Platform Intelligence to any AI assistant. It runs locally and communicates with your AI tool via stdio.

When your AI assistant needs Salesforce knowledge — governor limits, API references, best practices, or tribal knowledge — it calls the MCP server, which queries Kognyt's curated knowledge API.

No Salesforce org is required. The MCP server provides general platform knowledge, not Org Context. For connected-org work, see Kognyt for VS Code or the pricing page for the connected-org path beyond MCP.
