Getting Started

Choose one path.

Use Kognyt MCP

Use this when you want Salesforce platform knowledge in an MCP-compatible client without connecting a Salesforce org.

• runs locally via stdio
• uses npx -y @kognyt/salesforce-mcp
• supports a free path without sign-up or API key
• adds optional Pro-only tools when KOGNYT_API_KEY is configured

Use Kognyt for VS Code

Use this when you need connected-org Org Context inside VS Code, Cursor, or another VS Marketplace-compatible IDE.

• install the extension
• sign in
• connect a Salesforce org
• Astra syncs the metadata it needs for context, schema lookup, and impact analysis

Use Kognyt IDE

Use this when you want a standalone desktop Salesforce workspace rather than an editor extension.

• processes Salesforce org metadata to build deep Org Context
• currently waitlist-only on the public Website
• documentation is still WIP and subject to change
